Rome, December 13, 1604. On this beautiful winter morning, the organs of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran resound. The interior is crowded and the incense smells even outside. The canons come forward and the choir accompanies them. Today, the first mass for the prosperity of the kingdom of France must be celebrated. Facing the canons, the assembly prays for the King of France who allowed the restoration of this sumptuous basilica. The chapter chose the date of his birthday to honor him during this ceremony.
