Remembrance of the Dead Ceremony in Knocknacarra Galway This was in the St. John of the Apostle Church, Galway It is when you remember all the people who died in the Parish during the last year The Mass Leaflet: The writing is in Irish/Gaeilge Ar dheis De go Raibh n-anamacha uaisle meaning  At the right hand of God were noble souls (Don't worry no one really understands Irish) They had a wooden stand on the alter and people would put their candles on it The Priest would call out the names of the dead and a relative would be called up to light their candle and place it on the stand. The light from the candles made it difficult to get great pics but you get the idea. Before the candles were lit: The Candles: They had the names of the deceased on the other side.
