On Christmas Day 25 December 1045, Westminster Abbey, the traditional coronation site of the King of England, once again welcomed a new monarch of England, William. Morality. Normandy.

Westminster Abbey can be said to be one of the symbols of the United Kingdom. After completion, it hosted major ceremonies such as the coronation of kings, royal weddings, and state funerals. Successive monarchs, as well as some great men, are buried in Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey, commonly known as Westminster Abbey, better known as Westminster Abbey, is located on the north bank of the River Thames in London, and was originally a Catholic Benedictine monastery that was built in 960 AD, expanded in 1045, completed in 1065, and rebuilt from 1220 to 1517.

Westminster originally means western cathedral, and it got its name because it is located in the western part of the city of London.

There was a church that has been standing since the East Saxon king Seibert built it in the 7th century. Westminster Abbey is on the site of Westminster Abbey in London, and at the time, it was supposed to be built on Tony Island, which has disappeared because it merged with the shore after the narrowing of the Thames River.

The church seems to have been built on the instructions of St. Peter, who is said to have appeared at the canonization ceremony led by the first bishop, Meritus.

The old church has a central tower, transepts on both sides that cross and a lead-plate roof.

Westminster Abbey was enlarged by Edward the Confessor (r. 1042–1066) and completed in 1065. In honor of Edward, Henry III vowed to build a more majestic church in the Gothic style, leaving little of the original structure behind.

From the 13th to the 16th centuries, the kings of England devoted themselves to its design, which turned it into a hodgepodge of styles. In this way, it is a good match for today's British royal family, who also come from a large number of different ancestral origins, and Westminster Abbey has long been used as a "parish parish" for weddings and coronations.

At the request of Pope Leo IX, King Edward the Confessor, dedicated Westminster Abbey to St. Peter.

William I (the conqueror) from Normandy, France, was the first king to be crowned.

After the Battle of Hastings, he defeated King Harold II of England. His coronation took place on Christmas Day in 1066, and the locals of England gathered in front of their doors to cheer, a scene misunderstood by the neurotic Normans, and William was terrified throughout the ceremony.

After the coronation, the Norman soldiers attacked the crowd and burned some surrounding houses, which naturally did not improve the Anglo-French relations, which were still unstable.

Since then, the coronation of the royal family has been held in Westminster Abbey, and all British kings, including Queen Elizabeth, except for Edward V and Edward VIII, have been crowned and enthroned at Westminster Abbey, and even after a hundred years, they are all buried in the temple.

When William arrived at Westminster Abbey in full costume and accompanied by nobles and bishops, a magnificent organ religious music was heard from the church.

The organ is loud and majestic, with beautiful and solemn timbre, and has a variety of contrasts, can imitate the effect of orchestral instruments, and can play rich harmonies, and is regarded by Mozart as the king of musical instruments and the god of musical instruments.

In medieval Europe (especially in Italy), almost every town had a large or small pipe organ in its church, and melodious music could be heard throughout the town on every religious holiday. Being able to work as an organist in the famous cathedral is also a proud honor for musicians.

A medium-sized church had about 1,200 pipes, 16 stops (in different tones), two keyboards and one pedal that would have taken two years to build and then be fitted according to the acoustics of the room.

The organ of Westminster Abbey is even more huge, it directly occupies an entire wall more than ten meters high, and thousands of pipes of different lengths are scattered and scattered, like waves between the undulations.

The church's organ is not only a monumental and magnificent, but also a rare work of art, with religious ukiyo-e carvings and statues of the three major angels, Raphael, Gabriel and Michael, which give the organ a solemn charm.

This massive organ has three layers of keyboards, a foot pedal, 20 bellows, and requires ten skilled luthiers to operate it, so that it can play solemn music.

Surrounded by the crowd, William walked into the church and walked to the coronation chair in front of the temple, and on the other side, Eldred, the Archbishop of York, was already waiting with a crown in his hand.

William turned his head slightly to look at Eldred, the Archbishop of York, and Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who presided over the coronation ceremony, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

There was a fierce battle between Eldred, the Archbishop of York, and Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the final winner was the Archbishop of Eldred.

The coronation ceremony is divided into two parts, "religious" and "secular", and the religious part is mainly the anointing ceremony, that is, the consecration ceremony.

Many of the Catholic symbolic ceremonies of the traditional coronation of the English king were abolished by William, and only the anointing ceremony was retained because the sanctity of the British king came more from the ceremony than from the coronation itself.

The anointing ceremony is the most important part of the coronation ceremony, the so-called, the ointment consecration, 'consecration' is a way of God ordaining a person or thing to be marked by God (to make a person or thing holy or to God's name) or to impart divine authority,......。

Fu oil, on the other hand, is holy oil, which is an olive oil that has been consecrated.

Oil-making consecration is a very sacred religious ritual of Catholicism.

At the time of Napoleon's coronation, the ritual of anointing was used to obtain sanctity and legitimacy for his throne.

The choir of Westminster Church, the shepherd boys, the choir and the clergy sang hymns.

William ascended to the throne in the deepest part of the church. Later, under the guidance of the clergy, he went to the altar, where he was anointed by Eldred, Archbishop of York.

The crown in the hands of Eldred, the Archbishop of York, was held by the bishop beside him, and he came to William with a cross in his hand, followed by dozens of decorators holding blessed holy oil and other utensils.

In this order, the Archbishop of York received the consecration oil bottle from the auxiliary staff, chanted the scriptures, and anointed William.

Not only are there three types of holy oils, which are divided into confirmation, sick and baptismal oils, and each type of oil must be sung differently before and after and on the way, and the three types of holy oils mean that this process lasts three times.

This was simply a torture from hell for William, he did not feel any divine color from this ritual, only torture and pain for him.

However, for the sake of the sanctity and legitimacy of his throne, William persevered until the end of the anointing.

After the religious ceremony, the coronation and crowning ceremony is the most enjoyable......
