Pope Francis Loses His Cap on Philippines Arrival

— -- The wind wasn't cooperating for Pope Francis today.

As the pontiff stood at the top of the plane’s steps after reaching Manila for his trip to the Philippines, his papal skullcap – called a zucchetto – blew away.

Francis walked down the plane’s steps hatless but smiling nonetheless. Later, his robe could be seen flapping over his face.

The pope laughed off the wardrobe malfunctions, greeting well-wishers and waving to crowds gathered to witness his motorcade.
