I do not think I would want to guess at the value monetarily. However, if it is something you dad did and it was blessed, why would you want to part with it. That is a permanent reminder of your father's beauty in work and should be cherished and the story passed down through generations along with the story.

Don't worry about these websites. Most of them are untrue claims made by Protestants.\n\nThis controversy has been around ever since the Protestants created it. The origins of the name were originally created when Protestant Professor Andreas Helwig in 1612 tried to convert the title of the Pope into Roman numerals equivalent to 666. When he discovered that "Vicarius Fili Dei" (Vicar of the Son of God) fit the translation. He tried fifteen different language translations until he found this translation in Latin. It should be noted that this title has never been attributed to any Pope. \n\nWhile it is true that some tiarras that have been "presented" to past Popes with inscriptions on them, NEVER has any tiarra been inscribed with the words "Vicarius Filii Dei". The closest inscription that I have been able to find has been the inscription found on a tiarra "presented" to Pius IX in 1871 in Belgium. The inscription reads \n\n"IESV CHRISTI VICARIO INFALLIBILI\nORBIS SVPREMO IN TERRA RECTORI\nREGVM ATQVE POPVLORVM PATRI\n\nwhich translates to:\n\nTo the Infallible Vicar of Jesus Christ\nTo the Supreme Governor of the World on Earth\nTo the Father of Nations and Kings

I'm thinking the guy you're looking for is St. Simeon Stylites.  \n\nThat is, I know there's a saint depicted in traditional imagery as being in a barrel on a post, and I think this is the same guy.\nAnother possibility would be Diogenes.  \nHope it fits.

(REV.13:18) on the Pope's Crown (tiara) are these letters: VICARIUS FILII DEI; what do they signify?

It wears (REV.17:4)"purple and scarlet". It is a (REV.17:5)"mother church", so it has daughters or other churches following her. It will think (DAN.7:25)"to change times and laws."

IT'S VERY SIMPLE REALLY; YOU HAVE TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF IT. \nTHE OPPOSITE OF THE MARK IS THE "SEAL OF GOD" WHICH IS IN THE 4TH COMMANDMENT(EXOD.20:8-11; REV.14:7). NOW LOOK WHAT REV.7:2-3 SAYS "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA.

I wish I had been given the opportunity. His Holiness Pope John Paul II was a great man and I would have considered it an honor to greet him, moreso to be permitted to sit and talk with him for a few moments.

apparently, from the article, he was a christian missionary from great britain that went to ireland to convert people.(that's the short version)\n\nAccording to his Confessio, Patrick was born in vico banavem taburniae, somewhere along the west coast of Great Britain or north coast of France.[2] Vico means 'little settlement' or 'village'. Bannavem is the placename. Taburniae is a suffix meaning 'of the Taburnia', probably relating to a tribal group. However, it has been argued that the correct spelling should be Bannaventa Burniae possibly meaning the 'Promontory Hill of the Burnia'.\n\nThe place has never been identified with certainty. Suggested sites include Dumbarton, Kirkpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, Urswick [3] and Birdoswald (Latin: Banna) in Cumbria, Banwen in south west Wales, Banwell in Somerset and Norton (Latin: Bannaventa) in Northamptonshire. A further claim is made for Boulogne-sur-Mer, then a part of Armorica.[4]

we have both at our parish and i know a few others that also have both.  it depends on the congregation and the pastor.  if there are enough people who want it and the preist knows it all they have to do is petition their archdiocese.  i don't think it'll go fully back though - it wasn't as encompassing as i believe the mass is presently.  we will often do the kyrie, agnus dei, etc.

In the recent past I have come across only John Paul II. He was pious and he was having the qualities of a saint! Jesus Christ and Christianity have to bless him with Sainthood, for which he deserves!!
