Chaplin Stephen DelSignore of the 506th, 101st Airborne.will recreate a 1944 Christmas Eve service.
May I take a moment to explain what I am attempting to provide for the
veterans, civilians and participants at IGMR 2007. My goal is to create a
somber, reflective church service representative of December 1944. The
entire service would be conducted in period fashion, prayers, hymns, homily, and service bulletins would reflect 1944--no anachronisms; nothing farby. I am ordained as a priest in the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church. This is not an act nor would it be "role playing". Let me emphasize this would be an authentic service, down to the smallest detail, with very real impact.
This would be the type of service held in Bastogne or on the front lines in
1944? No. But it would most certainly be a service that was held all across
America, England and liberated Europe on Christmas Eve 1944.
Respectfully,
Padre Steve DelSignore
