The Ring of the Fisherman (Latin: Anulus piscatoris; Italian: Anello Piscatorio), also known as the Piscatory Ring, is an official part of the regalia worn by the Pope, who is head of the Catholic Church and succesor of Saint Peter, who was a fisherman by trade. It used to feature a bas-relief of Peter fishing from a boat, a symbolism derived from the tradition that the apostles were “fishers of men” (Mark 1:17). The Fisherman’s Ring is a signet used until 1842 to seal official documents signed by the Pope. Since at least the Middle Ages, it has been a tradition for Catholics meeting the Pope to show their devotion by kissing the ring. (Wikipedia)
