A124 Authorize the trial use Commemoration of Liliʻuokalani of Hawai’i -- First Reading

In the Diocese of Hawai’i, Lili’uokalani is usually commemorated on the anniversary of her death, November 11. Because this is the feast of Martin of Tours, a very popular saint to many Episcopalians, and also Veteran’s Day/Remembrance Day, the Commission believes that more people would celebrate Lili’uokalani’s feast if it were kept on a different date. We have suggested the date of her coronation as queen. However, under the rubrics permitting local commemorations, it would still be fully permissible for parishes and dioceses to use the traditional date of November 11.
