ANZAC Day Wreath Laying Ceremony
ANZAC Day Wreath Laying Ceremony
We thank Liliana and Daniela who have collectively written a small reflection about the ANZAC Day Wreath Laying Ceremony and its importance to them.
April 25th has significance to both Australians and Italians. ANZAC Day is one of remembrance for those who fought for Australia. Moreover, it coincides with the day commemorating Italy’s Liberation from Fascism. We were fortunate enough to represent St Aloysius College at a Wreath Laying Ceremony, commemorating both occasions, with representatives from the Australian and Italian military, Italian Carabinieri and Italian Consulate in attendance. At the event, we read four Prayers for the Fallen in Italian and laid a wreath on behalf of the youth. We were honoured to be asked, as this event has personal significance to us and our family.
