Product Information

The Christian cross can often have other symbols on it that carry a special meaning. For example, you sometimes see the letters IHS emblazoned at its centre. This stands for the Latin phrase Iesus Hominum Salvator which means ‘Jesus Saviour of the World’. These letters have also been interpreted by some as standing for the phrase ‘I have suffered’, which has been of particular comfort to those who have lost those they love through tragedy and war. In Australia and New Zealand, Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) is a day of remembrance celebrated on 25 April. Sprigs of rosemary are worn, which is a herb that grows wild in Gallipoli in Turkey where many Anzacs lost their lives in World War I. What are we remembering on Remembrance Day? What difference should this day make to each of us personally? Our network of overseas branches and volunteers may be available to place a wreath on your behalf at a number of cemeteries around the world.

The history of Remembrance Day | Sky HISTORY TV Channel

Poppies are sold and worn in the UK annually around the day of remembrance on 11 November (also known as Armistice Day) – the day hostilities formally ended in 1918 – or on the nearest Sunday to that date. Many other countries, especially those that are part of the British Commonwealth, also observe 11 November as a national day of remembrance, but other customs and symbols exist worldwide. In Japan and in many other parts of the world, Hiroshima Day on 6 August is observed as a time to pray and work for peace not war. It was on this day in 1945 that the war with Japan was ended when an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima.

Finding ways to connect with the worldwide family of the Christian faith has been a growing area of interest both in churches and schools. Such windows into the multi-cultural and international practice of Christianity in today’s world are a vital resource to give us a true picture of what it means to be a global Christian in the 21st century. For Christians, this is of course also important evidence of the continuing truth and power of the story of Jesus to influence lives and transform societies.During the First World War, poppies began to grow in abundance in the blasted and bombed land of the Western Front. The presence of these resilient flowers became a symbol of hope to many soldiers as they watched them flourish among the chaos and destruction. Draw 4 small circles on a sheet of red tissue paper using a pencil or a biro pen. The size of the circles will be the size of your poppy for the middle of the cross. In Ireland, there is a National Day of Commemoration in July for Irish men and women who died in past wars, including Irish members of the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces who have died in more recent times. Wearing a poppy is is never compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those who it is intended to support.
