在葬禮的最後,大主教說,現在從棺材中去除所有權力的象征,...... 甚至連名字前麵也不帶Queen 字了。
The Queen was buried with NOTHING
At the funeral service of late Queen Elizabeth, towards the end of the service,before the body was taken to the grave for burial,the archbishop said
"Now let us remove all symbols of power from the coffin, so that our sister, Elizabeth can be committed to the grave as a simple Christian."
Immediately, the staff of office was removed, then the scepter, the crown followed and all valuables were removed.
The Queen was buried with NOTHING.
Notice that the Archbishop did not include "Queen"to her name at this point too.
Life is indeed vanity. It is transient, and that teaches us humility. Humility in power, humility in relating with others, humility in our acquisition of wealth, and humility in all our endeavors, because in the end, NO matter what we
acquire in life we will all go back with NOTHING.
A sobering truth , our endeavor here on earth should be with grace.
