Commemoration Of The Departed

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Commemoration Of The Departed [1]

is the solemn remembrance of the faithful in Christ who have passed from hence with the sign of faith, and now rest in the sleep of peace. A prayer substantially containing such a commemoration is found in every ancient liturgy. Prayer for the dead has been pronounced legal by the highest ecclesiastical court in England, but is a relic of Romanism..
