Throughout history, the solemn role of an officiant has been a constant presence in significant moments of human milestones. From ancient Egypt, where processions were led by priests officiating rituals from the Book of the Dead (Plate 6), to the grandeur of medieval Europe, where kings like Henry V of England were blessed before embarking on their journeys, such as boarding the Trinity at Southampton. Fast forward to the 15th century, as Henry VI of England exchanged vows with Margaret of Anjou at Titchfield Abbey on 23 April 1445, their union officiated by a herald. In the modern era, the Expiatory Church of the Holy in Barcelona, Spain, has witnessed countless weddings and religious ceremonies, with its ornate architecture echoing the grandeur of the past. The role of an officiant, a beacon of tradition and solemnity, remains a vital part of our shared human experience.
