On #allsaintsday and #allsoulsday, by @richardthomas1365, floral iconographer: “This day of remembrance, of thanksgiving, consolation, and anticipation is a major feast day celebrating all the saints and countless souls who have lived in witness of their faith in God and righteous hope of a holy and peaceful community. Japanese funeral flower arrangements for heroes, great leaders, and distinctive heads of families have remarkable applications for today’s themes...An ocean wave design, iconic in that ancient culture and often depicted in the art of #seikasaidan (literally ‘fresh funeral flower’) is one of the traditional symbols employed. The scripted design allows us to see individual flowers which define waves and groups of flowers for whitecaps that can represent for us countless souls on the great sea of time...May the saints, and we, rest in peace and rise in glory.” #flowers #flowerpower #floral #floraldesign #floraliconography #churchflowers #flowerchurch #liturgicalflowers #liturgicalart #sacredart #japaneseflowers #seikasaidan 🌼🌊🏄

We have a long history of partnership with Spirit of Hope (aka Trinity Episcopal) at MLK Jr Blvd & Trumbull and today our priests Emily and Anthony got together for a combined Eucharist. A beautiful historic congregation that serves its neighborhood in so many critical ways. #detroit #corktown #northcorktown #corktowndetroit #woodbridge #woodbridgedetroit #foodpantry #communitykitchen @episcopalmichigan
