King Charles III's coronation screen to have Commonwealth symbolism

King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on 6 May. The cloth curtain used for the most sacred religious ceremony in the coronation has been unveiled.

On the screen will be the name of each member country of the Commonwealth including India. Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarchy in London, has given this information.

The coronation curtain is unveiled. The tree is made in the middle of the curtain and it has 56 branches and the names of the Commonwealth countries are written on the branches.

The Palace says this reflects the King's deep connection to the organisation. Historically, this ceremony is considered a moment of union between the king and the gods. This ceremony takes place before the coronation of the British King.

Aidan Hart, the designer of the project, said, “Each element of the design has been created to symbolize the historical coronation and aspects of the Commonwealth, the birds representing the joy and communication between members of a community living in harmony, the angels And doves represent the Holy Spirit."

During the coronation ceremony, the Dean of Westminster pours consecrated oil from an urn into a coronation spoon and the Archbishop of Canterbury applies the oil to the monarch's hands, chest and head.

This program will happen next Saturday. A grand ceremony has been organized for this. In view of this, this curtain was unveiled in the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace in London.

The leaves are woven by staff and students of the Royal School of Needlework and members of the Worshipful Company of Borders, Drapers and Weavers. The material used to make this screen was sourced from UK and other Commonwealth countries. The fabric is made from wool sourced from Australia and New Zealand.
