EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the Coronation Oil, a sacred relic deeply rooted in English history. The oil, believed to have been given to Thomas Becket by the Virgin Mary herself, holds a significant place in the coronation ceremonies of English monarchs. Thomas Becket, a renowned statesman and Archbishop of Canterbury, was a close friend of King Henry II in the late 12th century. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to Becket in a vision, presenting him with a vial of holy oil. This miraculous event is said to have taken place in the year 1165, during a time when England was on the brink of religious and political turmoil. The oil was hidden away during the ensuing 100 Years War between England and France, and was rediscovered in the late 14th century. It was first used in a coronation ceremony by King Henry IV in 1399, marking the beginning of a long-standing tradition. The Coronation Oil is a powerful symbol of the rich history and customs of England. Its discovery and use in the coronation ceremonies serve as a reminder of the country's complex past, filled with religious fervor, political intrigue, and the enduring influence of the monarchy. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Coronation Oil held the power to unite a nation and inspire awe and reverence in its people.
