Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, will attend the Royal Maundy Service at Blackburn Cathedral.
Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, will attend the Royal Maundy Service at Blackburn Cathedral. Maundy Thursday is the Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. The Queen commemorates Maundy by offering 'alms' to senior citizens - retired pensioners recommended by clergy and ministers of all denominations, in recognition of service to the Church and to the local Community. During the Royal Maundy Service The Queen will distribute the Maundy money to 88 men and 88 women â?? one for each of The Queen's 88 years. Each recipient receives two purses, one red and one white. This year the Red Purse contains a £5 coin, commemorating the three hundredth anniversary of Queen Anne's reign and a 50p coin commemorating the twentieth Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer. Both coins have been newly minted this year. Historically, the Red Purse contained an allowance of £3 for clothing, £1.50 in lieu of provisions and £1 for the redemption of the Sovereign's gown. The White Purse contains uniquely minted Maundy Money. This takes the form of one, two, three and four silver penny pieces, the sum of which equals the number of years of the Monarchâ??s age. This year 88 pennies worth of pieces will be distributed. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)
