Title: Coronation and Divine Right

Coronation and Divine Right
Coronation of Elizabeth II
  • From Wikipedia The essential elements of the
    coronation have remained largely unchanged for
    the past thousand years. The sovereign is first
    presented to, and acclaimed by, the people. He or
    she then swears an oath to uphold the law and the
    Church. Following that the monarch is anointed
    with oil, crowned, and invested with the regalia,
    before receiving the homage of his or her
    subjects.

The coronation ceremony is full of symbolism, as
related to the Divine Right of Kings. For
example, think about the following the
Archbishop of Canterbury (highest ranking person
in the Anglican Church) anoints the monarch with
oil. How could the casual observer interpret
this?
