"Anointing: A Sacred Act of Coronation and Devotion" In 1937, the world witnessed a momentous event as the coronation took place. The anointing ceremony became the pinnacle of this grand occasion, symbolizing the divine consecration of a new monarch. Centuries before, another significant anointing occurred when Mary humbly poured precious oil on Jesus Christ's feet. Her act of devotion exemplified love and reverence towards her Lord. Nature too holds its own rituals. In Yorkshire, under the moonlit sky, a young European Hedgehog anoints itself with saliva froth to protect against predators. A reminder that even in simplicity, there is wisdom. Inside the Church of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem lies a sacred space where pilgrims witness ancient traditions unfold. Here, countless souls have been anointed throughout history, seeking spiritual solace and connection. The Tower of London safeguards England's regalia including St. Edward's crown – a symbol steeped in tradition and power. Its use during royal ceremonies signifies not only authority but also divine blessing upon those who wear it. Art has captured profound moments too; Francisco Goya's etching "Aguarda Que Te Unten" depicts society's obsession with superficiality while reminding us to seek true meaning beyond external appearances. Biblical stories resonate through time; Samuel anointing Saul as King reminds us that leadership requires both divine calling and human responsibility. Similarly, Mary Magdalene tenderly anointed Jesus' feet with fragrant oil - her act representing gratitude for forgiveness received. David’s consecration as king by Samuel showcases how ordinary individuals can be chosen for extraordinary purposes - their lives forever transformed through sacred rites performed by faithful hands. Even modern times hold significance; during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1937 Archbishop Fisher carefully performed the sacred ritual bestowing God’s blessings upon his sovereign ruler. Lastly, we remember the mourning for Moses, a great prophet and leader.
