Basia annulum is the Latin equivalent of 'Kiss the ring'. In the word by word translation, the verb 'basia' means '[you] are kissing, do kiss, kiss'. The masculine gender noun 'annulum' means 'ring'. The phrase is pronounced 'BAH-see-ah ahn-NOO-loom'.

The phrase may be considered an observation on, a prompt for, or a reference to an audience with the Pope. Those who are granted a papal audience show their respect by kissing the individualized ring that each Pope wears on his right hand. Each ring is specific to the particular Pope. But all papal rings include an image of St. Peter [c. A.D. 1-64].

What is 'kiss' in Latin?

A Latin equivalent of the English word 'kiss' is basium, which means 'a kiss'. Another Latin equivalent is osculum, which literally means 'a little mouth' and loosely is translated as 'a kiss'. Still another is savium [or suavium], which literally means 'a mouth ready for kissing' and loosely is translated as 'a kiss'. Its diminutive form, as 'saviolum', means 'a little kiss'. There also are Latin equivalents of the English verb 'to kiss'. The Latin verbs are basio, basiare; osculor, osculare; and savior, saviari. Their literal meanings are all 'to kiss'.

What is proper protocol for kissing a bishop's ring?

For one's own bishop or archbishop (and cardinals), the protocol is to kneel on one's left knee and kiss the extended ring. If that would be awkward or its impossible to kneel, or if it is not your own bishop, bow and kiss the ring. If the Holy Father is present, the ring kiss is reserved for him, alone.
