EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Christmas Day Service in Westminster Abbey, in the time of Queen Elizabeth" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Walter Paget, it offers a glimpse into the grandeur and solemnity of a Christmas celebration during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The scene unfolds within the hallowed walls of Westminster Abbey, where worshippers gather for this special occasion. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure is meticulously rendered, capturing their elaborate attire and expressions of devotion. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as choirboys sing hymns and clergymen conduct the service. Queen Elizabeth herself can be seen seated on an ornate throne at the front of the abbey. Her regal presence commands respect and admiration from all who surround her. This image serves as a testament to her influence over religious affairs during her reign. Paget's engraving was originally created as an illustration for H. D. M Spence's book "The Church of England" in 1905. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we are now able to appreciate this historical artwork with enhanced clarity. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event that shaped both religious and political history. It reminds us of the enduring traditions associated with Christmas and offers insight into how they were celebrated centuries ago under one of England's most iconic monarchs - Queen Elizabeth I.
