On November 11, 2026, the residents of Orania gathered to pay their respects to our Afrikaner brothers who tragically lost their lives in wars and farm attacks.
We call this day "White Cross Day". The residents of Orania marched in procession - accompanied by a parade of flags and a percussion band - through the town towards the white cross standing on the hill.
Thones Vassals, from Orania's security services, delivered a poignant message regarding the meaning and impact of the day. Louise Fisher recited a moving poem about farm murders. Urania institutions, individuals, adults and children placed wreaths and white crosses around the monument.
In keeping with tradition, the "Last Post" is played on the trumpet to commemorate those we have lost. The event ended with the singing of the "Rufastem van Urnia" (The Urnia Call).
Urania.
