What Sandals and Buskins Look Like


Once as a young boy one of my grandfathers, who was born in 1911, shared that one of his childhood memories was putting the shoes and socks on the visiting Archbishop.  I had no idea what he meant.  Later, through personal study I found out what "sandals" and "buskins" were.  Then I moved to Rome and for the first time saw them.
