In the steamers were cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, monks, nuns and laymen of the Roman Catholic Church. One boat bore, in a golden monstrance in an illuminated, glass-enclosed chapel, the Sacred Host. When Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, Papal Secretary of State and Papal Legate to the 34th International Eucharistic Congress, held aloft the monstrance and pronounced the benediction, all was quiet along the Danube.
