Globe photographer David Ryan got some nice shots of this morning's Mass of the Rings
Here is one of Cardinal O'Malley, up front, and Pope Benedict XVI, in the back, processing through St. Peter's Square at the start of the Mass. The guy with the plume is a Swiss Guard.
And here's a shot, from the roof of the colonnade, that shows rows of bishops, in purple, cardinals, in red, the new cardinals, in white, and then, on the throne at the facade of the basilica, the pope.

I've integrated other photos David shot throughout the items below, so even if you've already read them, you might want to scan again for pictures.
