EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in British history as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, participate in the Royal Maundy ceremony at St. Albans Abbey in 1957. The Royal Maundy is an ancient Christian tradition that commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples, symbolizing the commandment to love and serve others. The Queen, dressed in regal attire, and the Duke of Edinburgh are seen here in the company of the Bishop of St. Albans and other ecclesiastical dignitaries. The first royal distribution of Maundy money outside London in over 300 years took place at this event, marking a significant revival of this cherished tradition. Nosegays, carried by the attendees, were a traditional precaution against plagues and epidemics, reflecting the concerns of the time. In the background, the bodyguard of the Yeoman of the Guard stands watch, adding an air of solemnity and tradition to the scene. The Royal Maundy ceremony is steeped in history and customs, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into this important moment in British royal history. The image, taken in 1957, showcases the enduring nature of tradition and the significance of the monarchy in the lives of the British people.
