As we celebrate the life and legacy of our Patron Saint, you can find more information about St. Margaret and the people who are still inspired by her example.
ST MARGARET'S CHAPEL GUILD
St Margaret's Chapel Guild was founded in 1942. The inspiration came from the Very Reverend Dr Ronald Selby Wright, CVO, TD, Minister of Canongate, who was known as the Radio Padre during the Second World War. As the parish Minister of Edinburgh Castle, he wrote a letter which was printed in The Evening News inviting women named Margaret to put flowers in St Margaret's Chapel which lies at the heart of the Castle. The enthusiastic response led him to found the Guild, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, who took a keen interest in the life of the Guild until her death in 2002. Dr Wright, as Minister of the Castle, became the Guild's first President, and was succeeded on his retirement by his successor in the Parish, The Reverend Charles Robertson, in 1978.
For the past sixty years, members of the Guild, all named Margaret, have continued to make sure that there are always fresh flowers in the Chapel.
That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus.
Jesus himself drew near.
- Luke 24:13-35.
