A Japanese traditional floating lanterns ceremony
commemorating the victims for the WTC tragedy take place on September
11 every year.
A traditional Japanese floating lanterns ceremony commemorating the
victims of the WTC tragedy will take place on September 11 at Pier
40.
Each year people in Hiroshima, Japan, gather to float lanterns
in remembrance of the victims of the atomic bombings and all victims
of war. We continue this beautiful and moving tradition for the
fourth time on the Hudson River with specific reference to the 9-11
tragedy.
The ancient custom of gFloating lighted Lanternsh in the waterways
is a symbolic way of respecting the lives that have gone before
us. Also, it can represent a light of hope for peace and harmony
that we send out over the waters of transmigration. As we pay respect
to the lives which were lost at the World Trade Center, we offer
the light of hope for a peaceful world in which no one else will
suffer. This very colorful, but quiet and serene ceremony provides
a place to reaffirm our commitment to building a peaceful future.
