| Viva 'a Reggina! |
On Thursday evening, members and friends of the Fratelli della Santa Fede (Brothers of the Holy Faith) gathered for our annual dinner in memory of Marie Antoinette (2 Nov. 1755–16 Oct. 1793), Queen of France and Navarre. Unable to join our friends in Tappen, New York, for the principal commemoration, a handful of us met locally for a convivial evening of fellowship and light Spanish fare, raising a glass to the martyred queen whose grace and courage continue to inspire devotion more than two centuries after her death. Viva ’a Reggina!
Eternal rest grant unto Her Majesty, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
