St Paul’s Cathedral, Nicosia commemorated Remembrance Sunday on 8 November, with honoured guests including representatives from the Australian, British and Canadian High Commissions, and the Embassies of Greece, Ireland and the United States.

“In the global Anglican Communion, this service is a solemn act of national and spiritual commemoration that honours military and civilian service personnel,” said the Very Reverend Walter Brownridge.

Remembrance Sunday pays tribute to those who died in the First and Second World War and subsequent conflicts, in a commemoration “viewed through the lens of Christian theology, sacrifice, and reconciliation—a perspective that illustrates the Christian narrative of Christ’s suffering and love,” said Dean Walter.

The service invoked fitting words honouring acts of courage that mirror self-giving love.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13)
