| Abstract: | Historical article by Canon A. Zammit-Gabarretta examining the historical presence, jurisdictional disputes, and ceremonies surrounding the two red thrones located near the main altar of St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina. The text traces the origin of the Grand Master's throne alongside the Bishop of Malta's throne back to the 16th century following Grand Master L'Isle Adam's taking possession of Mdina. It details the recurring clashes between the Order of St. John and the Maltese episcopate over protocol, precedence, and canon law during solemn entries. |
