At the Big Easy region, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Big%20Easy/212/238/26

Have you ever lost an in-world friend? As years pass in Second Life, more residents will have the sad experience of logging in to find that someone they know and love in-world has passed away in Real Life.

The Day of Remembrance is a new community event commemorating the life, spirit, and creativity of all the residents who have left us.

The event is organized around the tradition of the Jazz Funeral in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. When someone dies, all their friends gather for a parade in their honor. They play loud Jazz music as they move through the streets of the old town, carrying parasols and pictures of their friend. It is a time to celebrate the life of the dearly departed, as well as to mourn their passing. Our parade will depart from historic Jackson Square and crash joyously through the Big Easy region four times today– so that residents in all time zones can participate. We will have an interactive memorial garden and temple, and 24 hours of truly great music on the main stage.

Participate!

Parade:
Come by at 6:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm or 11:00 pm and join in the “second line” of the parade. Second liners spin parasols, twirl hankies, play various instruments and carry pictures of the dearly departed, all to a Jazzy beat. Parade starts at Big Easy http://slurl.com/secondlife/Big%20Easy/212/238/26

Interactive Installations:
Help build a temple and raise money to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. By touching the building materials, and making a donation, the temple will build itself before our eyes.

Walk in the Memorial Garden, where you can plant a flower for a resident who has died in Real Life.

Meditate in the Memorial temple, where you can light a candle for anyone you wish to remember.

The Remembrance Team invites you all to join the rest of our community for this special event.
