FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Pope’s cap is called a zucchetto. It is white and signifies his position as the leader of the Catholic Church. He may also wear other headwear, such as the mitre during liturgical ceremonies, and occasionally the camauro during cold seasons, but the white zucchetto is his daily clerical skullcap.
No, typically only ordained clergy wear the zucchetto, and it’s designated by clerical rank. Laity or non-ordained Catholics generally do not wear it. However, in rare cases, laypeople may wear one ceremonially or as a sign of devotion, but it’s not common practice in Catholic tradition.
A zucchetto stays on the head by its snug fit and lightweight design. It is tailored to fit the curve of the head securely. Some clergy may use discreet hair clips or hat pins, especially during outdoor services or long ceremonies, to ensure it remains in place.
The zucchetto symbolizes clerical status within the Catholic Church. Worn by clergy, it represents their rank and commitment to the Church. Different colors indicate hierarchy: white for the Pope, red for cardinals, purple for bishops, and black for priests. It also has practical origins, once used to keep the head warm under vestments.
A zucchetto and a yarmulke (or kippah) are both skullcaps worn for religious reasons but in different faiths. The zucchetto is worn by Catholic clergy and varies by rank, while the yarmulke is worn by Jewish men (and sometimes women) to show reverence to God. They differ in design, symbolism, and religious context.
