Children's Memorial is Sunday

National Children's Memorial Day, a day when people around the world are asked to light a candle, "that their light may shine," in honor and remembrance of all children who have died is Sunday.

As part of the third annual Worldwide Candle Lighting ceremony, individuals from throughout the world are invited to light a candle in their specific time zone at 7 p.m., thus creating a wave of light that will encircle the globe.
