Message for the Centenary Service of Remembrance, November 11th 2018, International Church of Vilnius. Remembrance Day is observed in many countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918.
In autumn 1918 two European monarchies collapsed: November 9th the abdication of William II was proclaimed in Berlin, two days later, exactly one hundred years ago, Austrian emperor Charles I had to step down. Another emperor, Nicholas II of Russia, was forced to leave his throne more than a year before. They were all quickly wiped away.
