In honor of the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, I’m posting a photo of Westminster Abbey, where they were crowned. More on the anniversary in another post!

And in honor of the occasion of Henry VIII’s coronation, Westminster Abbey closed down — not in remembrance of Henry, but for some private services for new bishops, services that could have been held at any time. For Henry they did nothing at all, except deny admission to those who wanted to go to the Abbey to mark the occasion.
That’s suprising. There are so many activities going on this year for Henry surrounding his coronation, you’d think they’d do something at The Abbey!
