  • Why do they have medals? Medals for what? decades of doing nothing? Or something like a medal for 10 years service or some such excuse.

  • @JackGamer193 - the guardists are professional soldiers whom have left the regular Swiss army. Their medals and distinctions from the Swiss army can be worn on highdays. Medals are also given for the occassion of a Golden Profession of the Pope, the 500th Anniversary of the Swiss Guard. Then it are more commemorative medals than medals of merit.

  • Jan. 22 is the birthday of the Swiss Guard

  • Impressive. Thanks for sharing.

  • This was no ordinary guard change. 22 Jan marked the 505th anniversary of

    the arrival of the Swiss Guard at the Vatican.

  • @meadowlands1937

    I was just about to say that they do not change guards at 6 pm.
