Seems sacreligious somehow even though it is religious. I guess it's just missing the bobble.

ROME, Italy (Reuters) -- He was not riding on a one-horse open sleigh, but when Pope Benedict XVI arrived on the pope mobile for his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square, on-lookers could have been forgiven for thinking Santa Claus was in town.

To keep warm against the bitter cold, the pontiff wore a red velvet cap, trimmed with white fur which, together with his scarlet cape, gave him the look of Father Christmas.

The traditional hat, known as a camauro, was commonly worn by popes in the medieval period to keep their heads warm on cold days and it featured on many paintings at the time, but it has rarely been worn in modern times.
