Description
Twenty-three new halberdiers of the famous Pontifical Swiss Guard swear allegiance to Pope Francis as the world's smallest army marks its anniversary. The swearing-in ceremony of new Swiss guards traditionally takes place on May 6, the anniversary date of the defence of Pope Clement VII by this military body during the looting of Rome by the army of Charles V in 1527.
