SwanSong (Pope Joan)

Pope Joan (Easter, sometime between 853 - 855AD)
Papal processional route, Rome 

Social and cultural  concerns - public figures, and how each act as a social conscience, a social voice of the times.  Pope Johannes, offered a voice for those without voices, (the poor, the dispossessed, and women).  Her swan song:  she died in labour - act of creation - bled out or killed by crowd.
