    Dear Allan, your videos are superb, full of obscure detail and beautifully narrated. I have a tiny gem of information about the clothes King George VI was wearing during the Anointing. The extended black and white movie shows him walking under the canopy and sitting wearing his elegant Georgian style pink silk coat, which meant he was too well covered to be fully Anointed. But as the canopy is carried away, for a split second he is shown sitting in the Chair only in his shirtsleeves. So it would appear he removed his coat whilst concealed by the canopy. At the end of the Anointing he is then sufficiently lightly and comfortably clad to receive the Colobium Sindonis, Supertunica, Stole and Robe Royal.etc. It was far more taxing for the late Queen, who had to continue wearing her heavily corseted, jewel encrusted dress under all those additional robes. As she called wearing the dress alone was "like an oven" it is remarkable she did not faint.

    Thank you for this interesting video. You mentioned the debate in the medieval West about how, if at all, the monarch was changed by being anointed king. I wondered whether the Orthodox in the East had a simlar debate about what happened to emperors and tsars at their coronations (did they get anointed?). Since the anointing oil this time is coming from the East I thought this might be of more than just academic relevance, but perhaps you will say something about it in the next instalment.

    Greetings, Dr. Barton! Actually, in Catholic Liturgy, the hymn "Veni Creator" is solely sung at an episcopal ordination, prior to the reading of the Mandate of the Holy See signed by the Pope. In every case (diaconal, priest and episcopal ordination) the elected ones do postrate and the Litany of the Saints are sung, but not the Veni Creator. Anyways, outstanding contribution to our culture. I do expect keenly the coronation of His Majesty.

    Your videos are great. You've got to listen to the Ancient Tradition podcast on the coronation. The anointing goes clear back to Egypt. Crazy. I recommend! The Reformers needed to do more homework...had they, I'm pretty sure they would never have thrown out the anointing...it's evidence of how far the Reformers and their ideas have moved away from the original doctrines. The podcast also explains the true reason why the anointing is not televised.

    I believe the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hosaam Naoum, was also there during the consecration of the oil, and he also offered up prayers of blessing. In your next video, can you comment on what kind of oil is it? Is it the Anglican equivalent of the Oil of Exorcism, or is it Chrism? There was some talk among some Orthodox friends of mine that the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem shouldn't have or couldn't have given Chrism to Anglicans to use liturgically, so the oil must have received another kind of consecration/blessing completely, rather than that used for Chrism.

    • @allanbarton
      @allanbarton  Рік тому +3

      It is really odd - the oil does not have all the ingredients that Orthodox chrism has by any means. It follows in broad strokes the 17th century recipe used in England, which was created by an apothecary. However, the photos I've seen seem to suggest that it has been blessed at least in part as the Holy Chrism is blessed. The Oil of Exorcism in the Orthodox church is blessed by a priest on the Wednesday of great and holy week and the ritual performed on the coronation oil does seem to go one further than that. It will probably remain somewhat of a mystery.

      @@allanbarton I was about to post a comment along these lines. The photos I have seen from Jerusalem suggest to me that the rite followed was that of the consecration of oil for the sick (ἀκολουθία του εὐχελαίου). This is strongly implied by the seven wicks that were floated on it; at one point I saw a photo that included the cover of the book being used (now I cannot find this), which I think confirmed my hunch. It seems to me that the rite used is more important than the ingredients, since the only necessary and unchanged ingredient of any of the oils is...oil. It is all exceedingly odd, liturgically, ecclesiologicaly, and theologically, at least within an Orthodox perspective.

    • @allanbarton
      @allanbarton  Рік тому

      As an Orthodox deacon myself I'm not entirely certain. It seems to have elements of the unction service performed on Holy Wednesday but with elements of the blessing of chrism added in too. A curious and unique hybrid I think, but without seeing the text and only seeing the photos it is difficult to know. It is certainly not the complete blessing of chrism, but the intention might well have been to produce something chrism like. Personally I am utterly baffled that the patriarch would do this, unless there is something about Charles' ecclesial status we don't know.

    I particularly think that the Anointing of the British Monarchs is more like the sacrament of Ordinance than Confirmation, since the British Sovereign is also Supreme Head of the Church of England. He/she IS a priest(ess), in fact, a HIGH-priest(ess). The Pope/Papess of Anglican Communion. I think the only reason you still have a Coronation is due to that symbolism, don't you think so?

    Ultimately in the Anglican rite of the CoE, these acts of anointing are purely symbolic and traditional. Removed from it is all the ancient belief on what an authoritative and sacramental anointing is. As you correctly said, it is highly ‘symbolic’. This is unfortunate for Orthodox and Catholic Christians, who do not regard these acts as ‘purely symbolic’, because biblically, we know that the spirit of the Lord may be truly vested upon the one anointed.

      You are preaching to the choir - I am Orthodox. For some reason in this day and age people use the word symbol to refer to something that is not quite the real deal - that is a modern mindset, completely alien to the people who invented this ritual. Whether those who currently perform it believe it has an effect is debatable, but to determine that Tyrone, we have to do the unthinkable and look into other men's souls!

    I don’t see how King Charles can be anointed on the breast if he’s wearing a naval uniform. Although, I remember reading that Queen Victoria was also not anointed on the breast, for reasons which I do not know. 🤷

    Church bells also were also consecrated in the past with holy oil. I hope the king gets his hair cut. He tends to look rather scruffy nowadays in his moth ball navel uniform and battered cap. The world will be watching.

    The simple reason why the Coronation Oil was consecrated by the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem is due to the fact that Anglican Orders are null & void (Aposolicae Curae 1898, Pope Leo XIII) & therefore, had to resort to the Orthodox for a valid but illicit consecration. An act (Consecration) which is totally schematic & heretical.

      @Bluebell Flora The Sacramental coronation of an English monarch is essentially an expression of the Holy Catholic Faith, the fact that England has lost The Faith, not withstanding. The heart of the ceremony is not so much the placing of the crown upon the head as the anointing with holy oils. Monarchy & Hierarchy here on earth are a foretaste of heaven.
      Unfortunately. the proposed new ceremony will eviscerate the one thousand years ceremony of its Catholic elements in favor of ecumenism & secularism to accommodate modernism & liberalism which does not bode well for the Monarch nor that of England.
      In regard to your comment regarding the pronouncement of Leo XIII on the validity of Anglican Orders as irrelevant is not shared by COE clergy. Why then do they run off to the Orthodox to secure valid, but illicit orders?

    King Charles lll is supposed to be the head of the church. On May 6, 2023 , Charles needs the people to know what Jesus Christ message of God's love and forgiveness . We should never ignore the worldwide scope of Christ's gospel. God wants all the world to hear the good news of salvation. LUKE 24:47. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lord's. Charles needs to stand for God or he won't be King for long.

      Theophilos and Justin Welby have been working together on an agreement between churches about the religious sites in Jerusalem. Theophilos visited Lambeth Palace last February shortly after Charles met him in Jerusalem. They all seem to get along famously, which can't be a bad thing.

      @Bluebell Flora I think mainstream Christian leaders are taking a more generous view of other churches; what used to be "heresy" is now a "different tradition". In 1953 it would have been unthinkable for a pope to donate a relic to the coronation and unthinkable for Anglicans to accept it. Times have changed.
