Royals at Te Deum at St Michael’s Cathedral
This morning King Filip and Queen Mathilde attended the Te Deum at Brussels Cathedral marking the national holiday. All proceedings were corona-safe. Fewer people than usual turned up to welcome the royals outside the cathedral, while inside physical distancing applied as a result of the pandemic.
In the Roman Catholic church a Te Deum is a service of thanksgiving in which recital of the Te Deum hymn plays a pivotal role.
