-GLITTERING RITES JOINMARINA, KENT Royalty, Diplomats, Elite Attend Westminster Abbey Ceremony. ¥& (Continued From First Page.) in the first of these. They rode in the state coach, accompanied by a detachment of household cavalry, brilliant in scarlet uniform. Marina in Second Parade. Marina and her father, Prince ' Nicholas, rode in the second proces- ) sion, and the third was made up of the Duke of Kent and his brother, the Prince of Wales. The Duke wore & naval uniform, while Marina wore an ermine cloak over her silver wed- ding gown. As the thousands in the packed stands watched, Marina, on the arm of her father, Prince Nicholas of Greece, entered the west door of the Abbey, where the eight bridesmaids awaited her. The two younger bridesmaids, Prin- cess Elizabeth, 8. and Lady Mary Cambridge, 10, were dressed differ- ently from the six older attendants. They wore knee-length frocks with frilly skirts and plain bodices, and veils with white net. Their shoes were of white and silver fabric, The third of the younger brides- maids, 14-year-old Lady Iris Mount- batten, thanks to her height, was able to walk with the older attendants. They wore frocks of white crepe, in- terwoven with a silver thread, with picturesque long sleeves flaring to great width at the cuff. The bodices, crossing over at the back, were fin- ished with a slight cowl at the neck The full tones of the Abbey organ filled the ancient edifice as the wed- ding procession passed through the gilded choir stalls and thence up five short steps to the altar itself. Dean Reads Introduction. Dr. Foxley Norris, dean of West- minster, then advanced and read the introduction to the marriage cere- mony, the exhortation to those about 1o be joined The Archbishop of Canterbury offi- ciated at the actual ceremony of marriage, presiding at the speaking of the vows, the exchanging of the ings and the pronouncement of the couple as man and wife as they kneeled at the altar The reading of the lesser litany prescribed by church ritual and the lord's Prayer followed. The domed abbey resounded with the voices of the guests as the responses to the lat- ter were led by Rev. Cyril Armitage, the precentor of the abbe The Archbishop of York, in robe and wearing t emblems of his high < church office, 1 pronounced the vers for “perfect love and peace,” foll d immediately by the pro- nouncement of the blessing by Dr. Norris. The beautiful notes and words of 2 hymn then resounded through the abbey. As the last note died away the Archbishop of Canterbury de- livered the formal address. Hymn Follows Address. He counselled them. “Let your deep- est bond of union be in that inward region of th> soul where conscience and true ideals dwell, for there you come near to God and God comes near ‘o you." After the address, the hymn. “Praise My Soul. the King of Heaven,” was sung. Again the Archbishop of Canterbury took his place to deliver the final prayer and benediction as a deathlike hush fell over the as- semblage. The national anthem and the play- ing of the anthem, “Alleluia! Al- Jeluia!” specially composed for the oc- casion, completed the ceremony save for the formal signing of the registers. The bride and bridegroom and their ts moved off to the Chapel of jward the Confessor for this as the last notes of the special anthem died away. As the bells of the Abbey began to peal, the wedding party formed again and drove back to Buckingham Palace for the second ceremony of the day. a Greek Orthodox marriage in the pri- vate chapel there. Archbishop Officiates. Archbishop Strinopoulos Germanos, head of the Greek Church in England, officiated at the second ceremony, per- formed in the London home of the King and Queen shortly after noon. The archbishop, who had attended the Abbey ceremony, wore his mag- nificent robes, set off by a heavy chain supporting his massive emblem of office around his neck and topped by his black-veiled headpiece. The bridal couple stood immediately facing the officiating clergyman, placed, according to the ritual, with “the man on the right and the woman . on the left.” The ceremony was opened with a litany and prayer, followed by the called “office of betrothal,” in Wi the symbolic exchange of rings was carried out. The archbishop, in the ceremony of blessing the rings, first took them and handed one first to the bridegroom, saying: The servant of God, the Duke of Kent, is betrothed to the servant of God, Princess Marina, in the name of God, the Father and the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.” Makes Sign of Cross. With the ring he made the sign of the cross over the head of the bride- groom, and then, with the second ring, went through the same ritual over the . head of the bride. ' The words of bethrothal pronounced three times to both the duke and his bride, the archbishop then placed the rings on the third finger of the right hand of each Prayers and a blessing completed this section of the ceremony, which in all required nearly an hour. The final section, the “office of the crowning,” was considerably longer than the first. Both the duke and his bride were crowned three times by the arch- bishop as he repeated words similar to those of the bethrothal ritual. Next followed the ceremony of the drinking of the wine. The archbishop, first taking the cup and the red wine within, blessed it, then passed it first to the bridegroom and then to the bride, who in turn drank of it. One more ceremony completed the ritual. Escorted by two priests and accompanied by the best man, the duke and his bride circled about the table while the choir, unaccompanied by musical instruments, chanted hymns. The procession wound up in front of the table, where the archbishop spoke a few words of advice concern- ing their marriage, delivered the final blessing and ended with a special prayer.

It may have been a pure inspiration or it may have been a revival on the desolate Cape Cod shore of the Mar- tinmas of Europe, with which they had been familiar from childhood. Still a third possibility is that they took over a purely aboriginal American festival and made it their own. In this case the real father of Thanks- giving would be Degandawida, the peace-bringing apostle of the Iroquois. In any event, the Six Nations, who were in contact with the Algonquins met by the Massachusetts settlers, had a harvest festival strikingly similar to the present American holiday. The | words of its ritual, in particular, might almost have been taken from the Bible. Dr. J. N. B. Hewitt, ethnologist of the Smithsonian Institution, has re- covered the text of the Iroquois great | feather dance ritual, which antedated by centuries the Thanksgiving inau- | gurated at Plymouth. The chances | are that the festival is partly inspira- tional, partly European and partly In- dian in origin. Spirit of Holiday. But, especially in its closing words, the Iroquois ritual expresses the finest | spirit of the holiday when the red | men praised the “Master of Life,” for “he willed that just and righteous acts | shall be the means of making us true men and women: so let us be thankful that his words are being carried out on the earth.” | ‘The text. as gathered by Hewitt, is in part as follows | “We congratulate one another this day because we are still alive in this world. 'We give thanks to the earth and we give thanks also to all the things which it contains. Moreover, we give thanks to all the visible sky. We give thanks also to the orb of light that daily goes on its course through the daytime. We give our thanks nightly also to the light orb that pursues its course during the night.
