> Well there's one tradition that very few people know about.
> Shortly after the new Pope is enthroned, the Chief Rabbi seeks an
> audience. He is shown into the Pope's presence, whereupon he
> presents him with a silver tray bearing a velvet cushion. On top
> of the cushion is an ancient, shriveled parchment envelope. The
> Pope symbolically stretches out his arm in a gesture of
> rejection. The Chief Rabbi then retires, taking the envelope
> with him and does not return until the next Pope is elected.

> John Paul II was intrigued by this ritual, whose origins were
> unknown to him. He instructed the best scholars of the Vatican
> to research it, but they came up with nothing. When the time
> came and the Chief Rabbi was shown into his presence, he
> faithfully enacted the ritual rejection but, as the Chief Rabbi
> turned to leave, he called him back.
>
> "My brother," the Holy Father whispered, "I must confess that we
> Catholics are ignorant of the meaning of this ritual enacted for
> centuries between us and you, the representative of the Jewish
> people. I have to ask you, what is it all about?"
>
> The Chief Rabbi shrugs and replies: "But we have no more idea
> than you do. The origin of the ceremony is lost in the mists of
> ancient history."
>
> The Pope said: "Let us retire to my private chambers and enjoy a
> glass of wine together, then, with your agreement, we shall open
> the envelope and discover at last the secret." The Chief Rabbi
> agreed.
>
> Fortified in their resolve by the wine, they gingerly pried open
> the parchment envelope and with trembling fingers, the Chief
> Rabbi reached inside and extracted a folded sheet of similarly
> ancient paper. As the Pope peered over his shoulder, he slowly
> opened it. They both gasped with shock.
>
> It was the check for the Last Supper
