How would religous figures dress and what were crosses like in Medieval Europe?

                In Medieval Europe the Pope, who was the head of the Roman Catholic Church, would wear a very simple outfit. He wore a robe made out of scarlet cloth, and underneath he wore a tunic that was white wool. And his shoes were red with gold crosses embroidered on them.
               There were also the amazing crosses! Some crosses were up to  feet high!!! Most crosses were made out of wood covered with silver or gold. Some crosses had silvered figures placed around the base of the cross, and had jewels decorating all around the cross.
