| Take the weight of the Missal on your left arm and hand, and receive the Priest's biretta into your right hand. |
| In the background, one can make out the scarlet of a Cardinal, whose biretta is tuftless and who wears the scarlet mozzetta over his mantelletta. |
| The colouring, with its clear reds of the biretta and the robe, is very successful. |
| When all is ready, make a profound head bow to the cross in the sacristy, put on your biretta, and proceed to the sanctuary. |
| The biretta developed from the medieval cap known as a birettum, or pileus. |
| Genuflect on the floor, take your biretta from the server, and put it on as you go to the sacristy. |
