EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the tumultuous life of Thomas Becket, the 13th Century Archbishop of Canterbury. Exiled in the French city of Sens, Becket, dressed in the robes of his ecclesiastical office, is depicted in deep contemplation as the Virgin Mary appears before him. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Gothic architecture of a European abbey, with stained glass windows casting a soft, ethereal light. Historically, this event is believed to have occurred in 1165, during a time of great political upheaval. King Henry II of England had ordered the assassination of Becket, who had become a thorn in his side due to his unwavering commitment to the Church and his refusal to compromise on matters of faith. In exile, Becket's faith was unshaken, and the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to him in a vision, offering him a vial of oil that had been used to anoint the heads of the Virgin and Christ at their birth. This miraculous oil would later be used in the anointing of English monarchs during their coronations, becoming a powerful symbol of the Church's influence and the divine right of kings. The image of Mary's visitation to Becket is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the belief in the supernatural during a time of great uncertainty and change. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that religious figures can have on history and the deep spiritual connection that many felt, and continue to feel, towards the Virgin Mary and the saints.
