EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a significant moment from the 1951 Canterbury Festival Pageant, held in the picturesque English city of Canterbury. The scene depicts the first Archbishop of Canterbury, Saint Augustine, blessing King Ethelbert and his queen in front of a backdrop of St Augustine's Abbey. The Canterbury Festival Pageant was a popular event in the 1950s, attracting thousands of visitors to witness historical reenactments that brought the rich heritage of Canterbury to life. This particular scene is based on the actual historical event that took place in the 6th century, when Saint Augustine, sent by Pope Gregory I, arrived in England to spread Christianity. King Ethelbert, the ruler of Kent, welcomed the missionary and allowed him to establish a monastery outside the city walls, which later became St Augustine's Abbey. In this photograph, we see Saint Augustine, dressed in traditional robes, raising his hand in blessing over King Ethelbert and his queen. The couple, dressed in period costumes, kneel respectfully before the Archbishop, their expressions conveying a sense of reverence and awe. The abbey, with its impressive architecture and lush gardens, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the deep-rooted history and cultural significance of this sacred site. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, when historical pageants provided a unique way for people to connect with their past and celebrate the rich tapestry of English history.
