The pope wears a red cap, known as a "zucchetto," as a symbol of his authority and the blood of martyrs. The red color represents the commitment to the faith and the willingness to sacrifice for it. Additionally, the zucchetto differentiates the pope from other clergy members, emphasizing his unique role as the leader of the Catholic Church.
