   King Charles Hosts Maundy Service in Wales for the First Time in Decades King Charles and Queen Camilla were in Wales on April 2 for the Royal Maundy Service, marking a rare return of the tradition to the country.  It was the first time the event has been held in Wales since 1982, and only the second time in the service’s long history. The ceremony took place at St. Asaph Cathedral in north Wales, and it carried personal significance for Prince William and Kate Middleton.  Since King Charles became monarch in September 2022, William and Kate have held the historic titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, frequently visiting the region in their new roles.  King Charles himself carried the title of Prince of Wales for 64 years before ascending the throne, adding another layer of meaning to the occasion.

     A Nigerian Catholic Priest who faced continous racist remarks, break-ins and had his tires slashed in a small German town he carried out his religious obligations in, has been forced to give up his parish after receiving death threats...
The Diocese of Speyer in southwest Germany in its announcement on Friday April 17 said the priest, Father Patrick Asomugha will leave his post in the parish of Queidersbach next week.
The statement added that the “concerns for the protection and health of Father Asomugha made this step unavoidable. It would be irresponsible to continue exposing pastor Asomugha to the threat."
Asomugha who took over as the head of a parish in Queidersbach, a small municipality in western Germany near the city of Kaiserslautern in 2017, has faced hostility in the parish since last year and his rectory was broken into twice. Last fall, his car tires were slashed and in March a death threat was left on his garage door. Two days later somebody smashed bottles against the door of his home. A police investigation is ongoing.
Parishioners also became more hostile, with people reportedly uttering racist abuse during church masses.
Local public broadcaster SWR reported in July last year that parents were overheard saying;
"I won't let my child be baptized by a black man. I'm not taking anything from those dirty black hands."
Speaking about the attacks he faced, the Nigerian Priest said;
“The attack against me have made it almost impossible to lead a normal parish life in Queidersbach."
It is expected that the diocese will give Asomugha a new role during the course of the summer.More photos below.
