You express with lots of delicacy the... hurt? the new schism was. Christians were totally despaired to be divided once again and all wanted to be reunited. Except now, The catholic states are just missing the protestant ones (and not trying to suppress them, or to convert them).
Religion wars were an awful period (but so interesting to study!)

Since not many nations die, I figured that there had to be another reason for their solemnity on the occasion; missing their comrades seemed like the best bet to that end.
Absolutely fascinating to study. ;)

Yeah, I have a class about that period, and it's one of my favourite (also because it kinda destroyed some clichés I could have)

I like the melancholy mood of this piece and how each of the nations are dealing with their grief (because it is like a bereavement) in very different ways.
Lovely ♥

I'm reading...reading...reading...then I get to this:
"The Catholic nations of Europe..."
...and a bit of understanding dawns. Then this:
"...it’s Reformation Day, too.'"
...and I get all wibbly 'cause now I know what the title referred to. Mom lit a a candle for both my grandparents on Sunday. We were raised Catholic. *wipes tear* This was good.
