After the anointing,<br />
the <strong>Queen</strong> was clothed<br />
in the linen robe and<br />
the supertunica which<br />
correspond to priestly<br />
robes, described in her<br />
Devotions as ‘robes of innocence and of humble<br />
service’.<br />
Her prayer of preparation was based on Jesus’<br />
commandment to love others as God loves us<br />
and to love our neighbours by serving them.<br />
Publicly, neighbourliness is a recurring theme in<br />
the <strong>Queen</strong>’s Christmas broadcasts. In 2000, she<br />
emphasised:<br />
Jesus' simple but powerful teaching: love God and<br />
love thy neighbour as thyself - in other words,<br />
treat others as you would like them to treat you.<br />
JESUS’ SIMPLE BUT<br />
POWERFUL TEACHING:<br />
TREAT OTHERS AS YOU<br />
WOULD LIKE THEM<br />
TO TREAT YOU<br />
