In the baptistery of St. Mary’s at Rheims, the Frankish nation was born to God; as heretofore on the banks of the Jordan, the dove was again seen over the waters, honoring this time not the Baptism of Jesus, but that of the Church’s eldest daughter; it brought a gift from heaven, the holy vial containing the chrism which was to anoint the French kings in future ages into the most worthy of all the kings of the earth.
Katika baptistery ya St Mary katika Union, taifa Frankish alizaliwa kwa Mungu; kama awali juu ya benki ya Jordan, njiwa alikuwa tena kuonekana juu ya maji, kuheshimu wakati huu si Ubatizo wa Yesu, lakini hiyo ya binti Kanisa mkubwa; ilileta zawadi kutoka mbinguni, bakuli takatifu zenye Krisma ambayo ilikuwa kumtia mafuta wafalme wa Ufaransa katika miaka ya baadaye katika stahiki ya wafalme wote wa duniani.
