Baptized Quote by Charles River Editors

“Three days after her birth they had Mary baptized as a Catholic at the Church of the Observant Friars in Greenwich. Still a tiny, squirming child, her life had already been touched by the two great factors which would come to define it: her father’s search for an heir, and the Catholic faith.” quote by Charles River Editors
