Summary

Description
English: Tradition prescribed that a Layman or a Cleric of inferior grade on being presented to a Bishop should kiss his hand (called Baciamano in Italian), which is to say, an obligation to kiss the episcopal ring of a Bishop as a sign of respect and obedience to the office of a Bishop as his shepherd. Before the promulgation of the 1967 Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, an indulgence of 50 days resulted from this act.
