But you're so right about the royals living in the proverbial fish bowl. Not a pleasant place to be! Queen Elizabeth has done, and continues to do, a tremendous job in her role as queen.<br />Blessings, my friend!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-28583290255841874132018-02-26T13:23:38.077-06:002018-02-26T13:23:38.077-06:00AH, Linda, we have common roots!

They did not address the Maundy Thursday tradition.

The Queen has served the country admirably over the years and is much loved by many. Did you know the Queen addresses the nation once a year on Christmas day? This is televised, as is also the State Opening of Parliament. Maundy Thursday in the United Kingdom features the Monarch offering Maundy money, also known as Royal Maundy, to selected senior citizens – one man and one woman for each year of the Monarch’s age. The Monarch presents each man and woman with a red and white purse during the church service. The red purse traditionally contains an allowance for clothing and provisions and the white purse holds Maundy coins to match the Monarch’s age.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-87161031988735315302018-02-26T07:16:22.184-06:002018-02-26T07:16:22.184-06:00Thank you for your kind words, Victor!

Surely you have an opinion on this time honored institution? Perhaps you fear the “Tut-tut” of your fellow countryman if you dare to say yay or nay? I am intrigued!<br /><br />Blessings, My Friend!Loraluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428559311387283317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-16402265092114780622018-02-26T07:02:34.435-06:002018-02-26T07:02:34.435-06:00How nice it is to see you here blogging again, Lul...How nice it is to see you here blogging again, Lulu.
