Commemoration of the Departed

Commemoration of the Departed is the solemn remembrance of the faithful in Christ who have passed from hence with the sign of faith, and now rest in the sleep of peace. A prayer substantially containing such a commemoration is found in every ancient liturgy. Prayer for the dead has been pronounced legal by the highest ecclesiastical court in England, but is a relic of Romanism..
