When is Supreme Sacrifice Day? This holiday is always celebrated on March 18
Supreme Sacrifice Day recognizes the ultimate sacrifice made by some for the good of others. History is filled with examples of people who offered the supreme sacrifice for other people. While most often we think of someone who gave their life, the supreme sacrifice could be something non-fatal. Can you think of an example? When you give up something you want or need, you are making a sacrifice. And, sometimes, the sacrifice is extreme. Use this March 18 holiday to remember them, the sacrifice they made, and why.
We offer these examples:
Jesus Christ gave the supreme sacrifice when he died on the cross for us.
Soldiers in battle gave their lives to protect our freedom, and our way of life, and to keep us safe.
Firemen and police officers sometimes give their lives in the line of duty while saving and/or protecting people.
More often than you think, a young man or young woman caught up in a love triangle, gave up the chase for the sake of their loved one.
A person gives up their job and career to tend to an elderly parent.
The list goes on and on and on.
Today is a day to reflect and offer thanks and appreciation to those who made the supreme sacrifice for us.
