Lights of Hope: Memorial Day for deceased children in MV
Wismar, Deutschland - on today's 2nd Advent, December 8, 2024, numerous events take place in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to commemorate the deceased children and in particular the so-called star children. About five out of 1,000 children die in Germany before or during birth, and this sad reality will not be forgotten by the commemorative celebrations. Relatives and affected families are invited to light candles together, a symbolic sign that the deceased are never forgotten. In cities such as Stralsund and Greifswald, there are special commemorative celebrations today, organized by Evangelical and Catholic hospital chaplainers who take place at 2 p.m. in the central cemetery in Stralsund and at 3 p.m. in the Greifswald Cathedral, where the topic of "wind" plays a central role, says Pastor Brita Bartels.
