Attention Blessing Ceremony Clergy Clergyman Clergymen Colours Regimental
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the solemn and ceremonial atmosphere of a regimental blessing of the flags, an important tradition in the military history of the early 20th century. The scene takes place outdoors, with a group of soldiers and clergymen standing at attention in a neat formation. The soldiers, dressed in their full regimental uniforms, exhibit a sense of discipline and pride, their faces focused on the religious leaders before them. The clergymen, dressed in their robes and carrying crosses and other religious symbols, lead the ceremony with grave seriousness and reverence. The flags, or colours, which represent the heritage and traditions of each regiment, are held aloft for blessing, their folds and intricate designs adding to the visual interest of the photograph. The open air setting, with the sun casting long shadows and the trees framing the scene, adds a sense of history and tradition to the image. This photograph, taken in 1909, offers a glimpse into the religious and military past, highlighting the important role of both religion and the military in shaping the culture and values of the time.
