Image quality is not the best. Personalities In The News: Rome, Pope John XXIII. Pope John XXIII, shortly after celebrating his 78th birthday, performs the never-before-filmed rite of blessing the Lamb of God, a rare and sacred event that occurs only once in 7 years. Pope, surrounded by other clergy, performs religious ceremonial ritual that results in sacred relics blessed by the pontiff. Pope's brother and nephew apparently are present.
