Get your piece of papal visit history today!

Officially "super cool":

Flemington Department Store co-owner Ted Resnick always thought the ultimate job would be working with the pope. After several meetings with the Archdiocese of New York, he got his wish.

His store provided 20,000 square feet of white and yellow carpet for the pope to walk on at two of his recent appearances in the United States.

And now he's giving it away.

Store workers are giving away 1-foot-by-1-foot sections of the carpet that Pope Benedict XVI walked on during his recent American visit. The white carpet sections are from his April 20 Mass at Yankee Stadium; the yellow pieces are from his April 19 visit to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers.
