HOLY DOOR CLOSED
CEREMONY IN ROME Performed by the Pope CHEERING CROWDS (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright,) (Received 3, 12.55 p.m.) ROME, April 2. Three gilded bricks laid by the Pope in a beautiful sunlit morning closed the Holy Door to-day. A stately procession of cardinals and other dignitaries of the Church moved through the »-*es to the music of silver trumpets, which were drowned by the roar of cheering. Tho Pope, a slight figure clad in white, looking worn, was the last to leave as he had been the first to enter a year ago. Using a gold trowel, he said: “We lay those stones to close this Holy Door, which will be reopened every jubilee.’’ Giving the Apostolic blessing to crowds of pilgrims, the Pope mounted a gestatorfal chair and was borne up the royal stairway to his own apartments, while a huge white curtain with a tapestried figure of the Virgin fell, cutting the procession from sight.
