Purple cross?
Since I saw no news about the cross going purple through the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth, I assume it didn’t happen? I don’t live within sight of the cross.

She was the head of the wrong religion. Popes only!

That’s what I thought originally too, but in this thread Alex L found two examples of media reports from 1952 when King George VI died, describing the cross being turned purple – and in those days someone had to climb up and change all the bulbs, it wasn’t a question of flipping a switch.

The English had a bit more clout in the Montreal of 1952 I suppose.

And the Société St-Jean-Baptiste, which controlled the cross at the time, must not have been so militant.

We only deny her purple light bulbs for believing in the wrong religion, if we were an Islamic state we could arrest people for expressing condolences. Now that’s militant! 🙂
