230. What is King Charles’ Coronation? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Thinking in English
The Coronation Ceremony
The anointing ceremony has been part of British coronations for over a thousand years. After swearing his oath, Charles will then be anointed with holy oil. The Archbishop of Canterbury will pour the oil onto the king's hands and then onto his head in the shape of a cross. This year however, Charles has requested that the oil not be made with animal products for the first time ever. Perhaps the most important part of the coronation is the investiture. This involves the presentation of the regalia to the newly crowned monarch. As many of the rituals are over 1000 years old, the vocabulary can be difficult for both English learners, non-native speakers, and even native speakers too
