1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 24, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted December 24, 2016 Dutch school kids remember and pay their respects to the Canadian soldiers that liberated their country... By lighting up their graves with candles... Here's a video ... Now I knew this was happening each and every year 'round Christmas, but just now I learned how this tradition started: A woman discovered a Finnish name on one of the stones, and she was familiar with a Finnish tradition... so, that's how it started 25 years ago, not just for that one Finnish name, but for all of the others resting there, all 1394 of them... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
