Mary Von Rosen
Countess Mary von Rosen (née Fock; 5 February 1886 – 26 February 1967) was a Swedish Lutheran religious worker. She was born in Sweden. She was the third of the five daughters of Baron Carl Alexander Fock and Huldine Fock (née Beamish) and the elder sister of Carin Göring, the first wife of Hermann Göring. She was married to Count Eric von Rosen, with whom she had six children: Bjorn (born 1905), Mary (born 1906), Carl Gustaf von Rosen (born 1909), Birgitta (born 1913), Egil (born 1919), and Anna (born 1926). In 1932 her daughter Mary married Nils Silfverskiöld, an Olympic gymnast and orthopedic surgeon with strong anti-Nazi views. Her family had good relations with Nazi Germany in general and with Hermann Göring in particular. This resulted in a scandal at the wedding of Silfverskiöld and von Rosen, when all the attendants but the groom and bride made the Nazi salute to Göring. Silfverskiöld and von Rosen had a daughter Monica Getz, a diplomat, educator and activi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Societas Sanctae Birgittae
Societas Sanctæ Birgittæ (SSB) is a High Church Lutheran religious society with character of third order for priests and laity, men and women in the Church of Sweden. Societas Sanctæ Birgittæ was founded in 1920 as a refuge for those who in a time of liturgical and theological decline of the Church of Sweden in early 20th century longed for more ceremonial celebration of the Mass, sincere worship and scriptural preaching. The initiative of the founding of SSB was made by archbishop Nathan Söderblom, for there was need to a religious society for both men and women. Söderblom introduced members of ''S:t Sigfrids Brödraskap'' (Brotherhood of St Sigfrid, SSB) – a High Church confraternity of priests influenced by Anglo-Catholicism – to Count and Countess Eric and Mary von Rosen and others like them, who treasured the memory of St Birgitta of Sweden. Söderblom was not himself later involved. Members of Societas Sanctæ Birgittæ, in reverence to Saint Birgitta of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lutheran Religious Workers
Lutheranism is one of the largest branches of Protestantism, identifying primarily with the theology of Martin Luther, the 16th-century German monk and Protestant Reformers, reformer whose efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Catholic Church launched the Reformation, Protestant Reformation. The reaction of the government and church authorities to the international spread of his writings, beginning with the ''Ninety-five Theses'', divided Western Christianity. During the Reformation, Lutheranism became the state religion of numerous states of northern Europe, especially in northern Germany, Scandinavia and the then-Livonian Order. Lutheran clergy became civil servants and the Lutheran churches became part of the state. The split between the Lutherans and the Roman Catholics was made public and clear with the 1521 Edict of Worms: the edicts of the Diet (assembly), Diet condemned Luther and officially banned citizens of the Holy Roman Empire from defending or propagatin ...

Orthopedic Surgeon
Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics ( alternatively spelt orthopaedics), is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. Etymology Nicholas Andry coined the word in French as ', derived from the Ancient Greek words ὀρθός ''orthos'' ("correct", "straight") and παιδίον ''paidion'' ("child"), and published ''Orthopedie'' (translated as ''Orthopædia: Or the Art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children'') in 1741. The word was assimilated into English as ''orthopædics''; the ligature ''æ'' was common in that era for ''ae'' in Greek- and Latin-based words. As the name implies, the discipline was initially developed with attention to children, but the correction of spinal and bone deformities in all stages of life eve ...
