Japanese Translation Error
The Shrine of Remembrance has a unique feature called
"The Ray of Light".
At 11 o'clock on Remembrance day ( 11th November ) a ray of sunlight shines through a hole in the roof of the Shrine and onto the 'Stone of Remembrance' which is in the 'Sanctuary'. At exactly eleven o'clock the ray illuminates the word 'Love' which is part of an inscription on the stone.
When a Japanese tourist was being told of this feature by a volunteer guide, he suddenly looked suprised as something registered in his head and then, nodding slowly, he said:
"Aaah....that is why they call it the 'Shine of Remembrance'!!"
