Anotations

Scope note:

Umbrella-like objects carried in processions, particularly as used to distinguish important people or things in the procession, as well as for protection from the sun. Examples are found in ancient, Asian, and western traditions. For example, in Christian tradition, parasols are held in procession as a sign of veneration over monarchs, high-ranking church dignitaries, or the blessed sacrament (the consecrated host).
