The coronation of King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla was a day of lavish celebrations filled with pomp and pageantry but at its heart was a religious ceremony that traces its origins back over 1,000 years.
There was a powerful ecumenical moment right at the start of the coronation service when a silver processional cross containing two fragments of the True Cross gifted to King Charles by Pope Francis was carried up the aisle. The Pope sent the precious relics to the king last month as an ecumenical gesture marking the centenary of the Anglican Church in Wales.
The crowning was preceded by most sacred part of the coronation ritual where the King was anointed by Archbishop Welby. The oil for the coronation came from olives produced from two groves on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem and was consecrated at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre there.
