REQUIEM (RE)IMAGINED: The Sacred Veil
Saturday, March 21
Sunday, March 22
Whenever there is birth or death,
The sacred veil between the worlds grows thin and opens slightly up,
Just long enough for Love to slip…
Our loved ones stand so close, right here,
Just on the other side
Of Eternity.
— Charles Anthony Silvestri
