Pontifical Swiss Guard to mark 500th anniversary of the Sack of Rome

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Pontifical Swiss Guard is preparing a series of commemorative events for 2027 to mark the 500th anniversary of the Sack of Rome. The anniversary honors the guards who protected Pope Clement VII during the 1527 plunder of the city, an event in which some guards died while others escorted the pope to safety.

The commemorative year will begin in January with a conference in Brig, Switzerland, and will include the publication of a historical book and participation in the Spring Festival in Zurich. In May, celebrations at the Vatican will feature light-art performances, a pilgrimage, the premiere of a film about the Corps, and a ceremony for new guards to take their oaths.

Commander Graf stated that the goal of the commemorations is to demonstrate that the values of that era, such as loyalty, reliability, professionalism, and integrity, remain present today.
