ROME, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- A skullcap worn by Pope Francis is up for auction on eBay with sale money going to a charity, and the highest bid is $258,000 and rising.
The host of "Le Iene," or "the Hyenas," an Italian comedy television program, traded skullcaps with the pope as the two met at a general audience in the Vatican's St. Peter's Square. Security handed the gift to the pope, who examined it and put it on his head, giving his own to the host.
