The Cathedral Church of the Redeemer's Poppy Project was the subject of a lovely video clip on the news Friday evening, October 12. You can watch the video clip HERE, or via the link shared on our Facebook Page.
The Cathedral will be covered in poppies from October 20 through November 12. If you're in Calgary during that time, do take the opportunity to visit the site, reflect and remember.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
-- In Flanders Fields, Dr. John McCrae
