The ceremony of anointment is thus referred tc
in the ST. Petersburg West:
q 1t is impossible to give utteranee to the feet
| ings filing our breasts when attending the cere
mony OF the holy aneintment Of the Princess Mary
l5SephP Dagmar. In a white robe, with her youth
| fuI locks Unadorned, and no jewels on her roya
person, she made her appearance in the chapel
Her innocent, spotless soul, ascending in prayer
| to her Maker, did not admit of worldly yanites
Her spirit was lost in sublime aspirations
siThe Metropolite Of Noyogor0d and ST. Peters
burg, surrounded nv an assembly of bishops, ha6
only a humble Christian before him in the
5rdpezia {entTanee hall) Of the chapel praying
for reception into our Orthodox Church. The
questions prescribed by the ritual the princess an
swered in a loud and ringing voice. Wewere snr
prised at her correct pronunciation of the ancient
ScIayonic language of the church, The e3amina
tiea lasted about half an hour when the arch
bishop led the princess into the interior Of the
chapel the clergy chanting the hymn, God re-
ward her and bless her. The crowd then press
ing into the church prevented our seeing the re
mainder of the ceremony. On leaving the church
pink ribbon round her neck indicated that th
young princess, after embracing orthodoxy had
according to custom, been touched by the Hol,
Cross. May this symbol Of salvation retain it
llife-giving power during the earthly pilgrimage
our beautiful princess.
