Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Violet Incense of the day: Violet World War I was a devastating war that destroyed families and communities on all sides. The poppy fields of Flanders became soaked with the blood of thousands of dying soldiers. Red poppies became the symbol of profound grief, loss, sacrifice, and remembrance. Peace was declared on November 11 and has become a day of remembrance of all soldiers of all wars and conflicts. Gather together mementos of those who have served their country in war, disaster relief, and in peace, including photos, articles, and other sentimental items. Add to that sprigs of rosemary and lavender. Light white and silver candles. Breathe deeply and fully as you chant. With sacrifice of blood and bone In love and honor you protect us. With all honor, we remember Never judging, always loving. Blessed be. |
