Special Days & Weeks around the year
Special Days around the year The origins and background material for many special days and designated weeks can usually be found on appropriate websites. As the list of organisations or causes now claiming a special week or Sunday is ever-increasing, a considerable number of them have not been included. January Christian Unity Week 18-25 January www.ctbi.org.uk Holocaust Memorial Day January 27 www.hmd.org.uk As many in our communities mark Holocaust Memorial Day we remember before God the thousands of victims who perished under the years of Nazi atrocities. We pray for the survivors and their relatives and we pray for the eradication, in every place, of the evil and prejudice inflicted upon men, women and children because of their ethnicity, their beliefs or their sexual orientation.
