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

    the arrival of the Swiss Guard at the Vatican.

  • Impressive. Thanks for sharing.

  • 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.

  • Jan. 22 is the birthday of the Swiss Guard

  • @meadowlands1937

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