Investiture -- the Pectoral Cross

Under the Old Covenant the High Priest wore The Breastplate containing twelve precious stones, representing the Twelve Tribes. He wore this breastplate close to his heart to symbolize that he caried the people close to his heart; and when he went before God on the Day of Atonement he wore The Breastplate to signify that he represented the people before God.

Here I give fatherly instructions to the Apostolic Adjutants, regarding the sacredness of this Vestment, and on how to put it on and fasten it properly.
