Another part of early Christianity is the Swiss Guard.
In 1505 AD, the Pope asked for the Switzerland to send guards to help protect the Pope and where he lived.
For hundreds of years, the people that guard the Pope have been a group of soldiers from Switzerland, making up the Swiss guard.
Their uniforms are blue, red, orange and yellow, and they usually carry a long staff called a halberd, and also some other weapons.
