Spanish Government Orders All Flags At Military Bases Flown At Half-Mast For Holy Week

The Spanish government has ordered all flags at military building to fly their flags at half-mast to commemorate the death of Christ, from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday according to a report:

The Spanish flag will fly at half-mast on all military buildings including the Ministry of Defence in Madrid to commemorate the death of Christ this Holy Week.

In a statement, the ministry said all units, bases, barracks will lower the flag from 2pm on Maundy Thursday to 12.01am on Easter Sunday “as is traditional”.

The ministry explained that the practice dates back several decades and “forms part of the secular tradition of the armed forces”.

The Spanish military will take part in 152 parades and celebrations to mark Holy Week in 80 cities across the country this year, including Seville, Granada, Madrid and the Canary Islands.

The Ministry of Defence highlighted the fact that freedom of religion for servicemen would be respected, and that participation by members of the armed forces at these events is voluntary. (source)

It’s a breath of fresh air for a world increasingly submerged in secular paganism.

Christus Vincit.
Christus Regnat.
Christus Imperiat.

Amen. And Happy Easter.
