EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during Maundy Thursday ceremonies at Westminster Abbey in the early 1910s. Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom (1844-1925), dressed in mourning attire, and her sister, Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia, formerly Princess Dagmar of Denmark (1847-1928), leave the distribution ceremony. The sisters, both dressed in elegant Edwardian garb, show deference to the Dean of Westminster, who leads the procession in a white surplice. Maundy Thursday is a significant day in the Christian faith, commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples. During this ceremony, the monarch distributes specially coined Maundy money to the deserving poor as a symbol of charity and benevolence. The sisters' presence at the event highlights the strong connections between the British and Russian royal families during this period. Queen Alexandra was the widow of King Edward VII, while Empress Marie Feodorovna was the mother of the future Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Their shared history and familial bond are palpable in this image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the religious and charitable aspects of royal life during the early 20th century. The sisters' fashionable yet somber attire, the deferential posture of the Dean, and the solemn atmosphere of Westminster Abbey all contribute to the historical and spiritual significance of the moment.
