Two Minutes Silence

Two Minutes Silence is a solemn observance held to honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed in wars, especially military personnel. During this period, people pause their activities to reflect quietly, often standing in silence. The practice originated after World War I, symbolizing respect, remembrance, and mourning. It typically takes place on specific days like Remembrance Day or Veterans Day, fostering collective memory and honoring the fallen with a moment of shared silence.
