Pearl Harbor Memorial
On Sunday, December 10, 2017, the Cathedral of St. Andrew held a special Evensong in conjunction with the dedication of a new memorial to remember and honor those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor over 76 years ago. The memorial consists of a refurbished cross crafted from metal taken from the hull of the USS Arizona and is set among "waves" made of koa that were crafted by Kahikina Ching.
The cross was originally embedded in the altar of St. George's Episcopal Church at Pearl Harbor, which was built as a memorial to those who died on December 7. When St. George's closed two years ago, the cross was kept for the purpose of creating a new memorial. This new Diocesan Pearl Harbor Memorial is dedicated not only to those who lost their lives that fateful day, but to all those who worshiped at St. George's Church through the years.
