King Abdullah II of Jordan arrived in the Italian city of Assisi, where he received the 2019 Lamp of Peace award at a ceremony that was also attended by Queen Rania of Jordan. King Abdullah II received the 2019 Lamp Of Peace award from the Custos of the Sacred Convent of Assisi, Father Mauro Gambetti. King Abdullah II was deemed worthy of the award because of his efforts to promote human rights, harmony, interfaith dialogue, and peace in the Middle East and the world. |
The King gave a speech at the award ceremony, which was organised by the Franciscan Friars of the Sacred Convent of Assisi. The award ceremony was attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, and a number of international political, intellectual, and religious leaders. |
The "Lamp of Peace" is a replica of a glass oil lamp that burns at the side of the grave of Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order behind the peace prize. The award aims to honor those work towards promoting peace and harmony. It was first presented in 1981 to Polish trade union leader Lech Walesa. Other recipients include Pope John Paull II, the Dalai Lama, Saint Teresa of Calcutta and former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev. |
Queen Rania in her best today . I think this is the most elegant look for her this year.
ReplyDeleteQueen Rania looks, smart, elegant, appropriate and very beautiful. Perfect in every way for this occasion. And congratulations to the King for this honour. Well done to both of them.

nice everything, except heels a little too chunky for the outfit.
ReplyDeleteAgree.
DeleteWhat an honor to receive the Lamp of Peace award. Congratulation to the King of Jordan.I do love this dress on Rania.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is quite a special honor for a hard-working king and queen. They both look excellent. It's good to see some women forsaking those high, spiky heels lately. Walking around Assisi could be treacherous in them.

DeleteExactly, pointy heels would have been a disaster. She is certainly one classy lady.
DeleteAgreed!
DeleteQue bien vestida Rania,impecable
ReplyDeleteFabulous look for Rania. Simple yet elegant. It’s beautifully constructed, definitely couture.
ReplyDeleteFor me, She has an exceptional fashion sense. I like - almost - always everything Queen Rania wears. She seems to have an elegant behaviour as well. Phantastic. But, I feel sorry to have this to say, beginning from this her face starts to look overdone with fillers - especially the lips - or whatever. This is really sad, because, why can those woman not get older in grace.
ReplyDeleteFor once a combination I really like, well done Rania!
ReplyDeleteAgree - ein blindes Huhn findet auch einmal ein Korn. Sie ist das Epitom dafür, dass man mit allem Geld der Welt (und sie gibt sehr viel davon aus)sich Stil und Geschmack nicht kaufen kann.
DeleteCongratulations to King Abdullah on the award. His kingdom is in a tough situation in the middle east and He and the Queen have been so strong in their support of human rights and peace. And they are succeeding.
