Remembering Marie Antoinette, Queen of France

Viva 'a Reggina!
After Mass, Wednesday evening, members and friends of the Fratelli della Santa Fede (Brothers of the Holy Faith) met up for fellowship and meatless dinner in memory of Marie Antoinette (2 Nov. 1755–16 Oct. 1793), Queen of France and Navarre. Her Majesty was murdered 231 years ago during the French Revolution. 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.
