The Queen’s Maundy

I am so glad to see The Queen continues her participation in this wonderful tradition and appears as majestic as ever at 92.

Given her age, she gave the specially minted coins, The Royal Maundy, to 92 Seniors chosen because of their service to church and community.

Plenty of photos, a video, and, yes, some history and explanation of the Maundy may be found at the Daily Mail.  (Yes, I know some hate the Daily Mail.  But it is hard to beat them when covering royal events.)  It is interesting how different monarchs have carried out this tradition -- or not carried it out.  Charles I could hardly be bothered.


Don't be like Charles I.  And may your Triduum and Easter be blessed and glorious.
