Sun 10th Aug & 17th Aug |
The 15th of August is significant for several reasons. It is celebrated as the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary—known as “The Falling Asleep of…” in the Anglican tradition, “Dormition” (meaning falling asleep) in the Eastern churches, and “The Assumption” in the Roman Catholic Church. I’ll share more about these traditions another time.
August 15th also marks VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day), representing the closest end-point to the Second World War. In the Asian subcontinent and the Far East, many British and Commonwealth service members, civilians, and allies were still engaged in conflict and faced cultural upheaval. Although the war in Europe had ‘officially’ ended, thousands more were deployed to the Far East, and the repercussions for families and communities continued well beyond VE Day.
At the upcoming services in Quinton on 10 August and in Piddington on 17 August, we will honour and remember the sacrifices made. Please share this with others and encourage them to join us, taking a moment to pay tribute to all who served. Quinton Parishes Communion at 1000hrs on 10th August will incorporate appropriate reflections and the Silence to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day and the end of the Second World War.
