KRST

Meghan Markle so krstili

Skorajšnja žena princa Harryja je že anglikanka. Na obredu je bil princ Charles, Elizabeta II. pa ne.

Pisali smo že, da Meghan Markle pred majsko poroko s princem Harryjem čaka še krst, s katerim se bo pridružila Anglikanski cerkvi. Obred naj bi bil ta mesec, a nihče ni pričakoval, da se bo to zgodilo tako kmalu po tem, ko je novica pricurljala v javnost. Ceremonija, ki so jo pripravili pred nekaj dnevi, je kakopak potekala v strogi tajnosti, zanjo so vedeli v glavnem le povabljenci in zaposleni na dvoru, se je pa Meghan izpolnila velika želja, da bi jo krstil canterburyjski nadškof Justin Welby, s katerim se je par spoprijateljil med pripravami na zakon, ki jih morata obiskovati pred poroko.


Prejela še prvo obhajilo in birmo

Intimni obred je trajal 45 minut, udeležila sta se ga tudi Meghanin bodoči tast princ Charles in njegova žena Camilla, ni pa bilo Harryjevega brata princa Williama ne kraljice Elizabete II. Kljub temu so Britanci pozdravili Charlesovo prisotnost, saj bo od matere nekega dne, mnogi menijo, da naj bi bilo to že zelo kmalu, prevzel prestol, in takrat bo on na čelu Anglikanske cerkve. A kraljico je kljub temu zagotovo pogrešala Meghan, ki je pred časom dejala, da si želi v anglikanstvo prestopiti prav zaradi nje oziroma da bi ji s tem izkazala spoštovanje. Anglikanska cerkev namreč ne zahteva, da oseba druge vere, ki se želi cerkveno poročiti, prestopi v njihovo vero.

Meghanin krst je pomemben korak tudi v njeni transformaciji od ameriške ločenke in igralke do bodoče spoštovane članice kraljeve družine. Takoj po krstu je prejela še zakrament prvega obhajila in birme, tako da se bo v prihodnje na bogoslužju lahko pridružila Harryju, ko bo ta prejel obhajilo. S tem je pokazala, da si zelo želi pripadati kraljevi družini ter da ji veliko pomeni, da jo imajo tako Otočani kot člani družine za svojo. Ko se je pred leti Meghan, ki se sicer nikoli ni opredeljevala kot članica katere od cerkva, vzgojena pa je bila v protestantski veri, poročila s producentom Trevorjem Engelsonom, judom, ni prevzela njegove vere.

Je pa vera za britanske vladarje zelo pomembna. To je jasno že iz njihovih običajev, saj vsako leto brez izjeme za božič obiščejo sveto mašo, enako storijo ob drugih velikih cerkvenih praznikih. Anglikansko cerkev je sicer ustanovil kralj Henry VIII., potem ko mu je Cerkev prepovedala, da bi se ločil od prve žene Catherine Aragonske. Zapustiti jo je hotel zaradi Anne Boleyn, to pa je dal pozneje sicer obglaviti. Po ustanovitvi anglikanstva je zamenjal papeža in sam postal poglavar Cerkve v Veliki Britaniji.
