Rainbow of Candles

red – the colour of blood, we remember all those who have been injured in fighting or war.

orange – the colour of bright orange jackets worn so that people can be seen, while they work to look after people who are in danger, we remember fire-fighters and ambulance teams

yellow – sometimes people tie a yellow ribbon to welcome people home, we remember those who are missing a member of their family who is away from home at the moment.
green – the colour of camouflage clothes, we remember those who are serving our country today.

blue – the colour of the caps of the peacekeeping forces, we remember those working for peace.

indigo – a sad colour, we remember those who are sad because of the past.

violet – a royal colour, we remember kings and queens and politicians as they rule our countries.

From the Diocese of Guildford

If we have sufficient helpers, this should be completed by 5 or 6pm. The more helpers we have, the earlier we can all go home (and collapse).
