Remembrance Day

Wednesday, November 11, 2026

— days to go

Remembrance Day in the Cayman Islands is marked on the second Monday of every November. The holiday is on a Monday in Cayman Islands, while many countries mark it on 11 November regardless of the day of the week. In 2026, Remembrance Day falls on Monday 9 November. The holiday will be on Monday 8 November in 2027. Remembrance Day was originally held every 11 November as “Armistice Day” to commemorate the end of World War I. It is still observed in British Commonwealth nations, including Cayman Islands, to honour the veterans (now all deceased) who fought in World War I. On Remembrance Day in Cayman Islands, there will be an official wreath-laying ceremony presided over by government officials, and public recognition of military veterans both living and dead. While Remembrance Day is not so widely and vigorously celebrated these days as in years gone by, it is still observed. Out of respect for the heroes of the past and out of sheer tradition, this World War I holiday lingers on despite there being no living World War I veterans.

Feast of St Paul's Shipwreck

The Feast of Saint Paul’s Shipwreck is a holiday unique to Malta because it was on Malta that the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked around the year A.D. 60. In 2027, Feast of St Paul's Shipwreck falls on Wednesday 10 February. The holiday will be on Thursday 10 February in 2028. The feast is kept on February 10th each year, and as Paul is the patron saint of Malta, it is a much-anticipated event. Out of dozens of “saint days” on the church calendar in Malta, the Feast of Saint Paul is one of only a handful that have the status of a national holiday. The account of Paul’s shipwreck and three-month, wintertime stay on Malta is found in the Bible’s Acts 27:27 through 28:11. He was being taken to Rome as a prisoner to eventually stand trial before Caesar. God let him know in advance he would be shipwrecked but would spare the lives of all on board, which promise was later kept and in answer to Paul’s prayers for their lives. The Bible says the storm was in the Adriatic Sea, though Malta borders the Ionian Sea, because in ancient times, the Adriatic’s boundaries were considered to extend much farther south. The ship broke up on the rocks near the shores of Malta, and all swam ashore. The local population greeted them, but thought he might be a murderer whom the “goddess of justice” had finally caught up with after he was bitten by a poisonous snake. After he lived, however, they supposed him to be, perhaps, a god. Paul, however, soon showed them it was God’s power at work in a mere man by healing the governor of the island, Publius, and many others who were sick or disabled among the island’s population. No doubt, Paul preached the Gospel to them as well, and when he left Malta, the inhabitants gave him all necessary supplies out of gratitude. The Feast of Saint Paul’s Shipwreck is kept at the “Parish Church of Saint Paul Shipwrecked” in Malta’s capital city of Valletta. It is also a day of processions and family get-togethers. Three things to do should you visit Malta, though hopefully not be shipwrecked there, on February 10th are:
