Service (Remembrance Day 2001)
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the warring nations of Europe agreed to lay down their arms. The date for the armistice was chosen as it represented Old November Day, the "Day of the Dead" or "All Saints / All Hallows / All Souls" Day on the "old calendar," when loved ones who were gone were remembered and graveyards were tended. In this year 2001, let us again remember, and come together in ritual, in symbol, in music, to reaffirm our connections as part of the continent, part of the main, part of humanity. "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind." (John Donne, Meditation XVII)
