Central Union Church holds a ceremony to memorialize people of Hawaii who have died from the coronavirus
Fifteen minutes and 12 seconds.
That was the time it took for Central Union Church’s tower bells to ring out every four seconds for each person who has died of COVID-19 in Hawaii.
The tears of the small group gathered on the grounds to pay homage to these lives fell much quicker.
In addition to the somber notes from the church’s Schulmerich electronic carillon, 228 empty chairs sat on the church’s Great Lawn fronting Beretania street as a visual marker of the lives that have been lost in Hawaii because of the new coronavirus.
