My earliest memory of learning the significance of Anzac Day was in the fourth grade, when my teacher brought in his grandfather’s pocket Bible. It wasn’t just any keepsake it was a testament to both history and faith.
He shared how the Bible had saved his grandfather’s life during the war. Right in the centre of the leather-bound cover was a hole, clean through the pages made by a bullet.
They say that his grandfather had placed the Bible in his front pocket, and when the bullet struck, it slowed the bullet enough to spare his life.
I remember the moment the Bible was passed around the classroom. When it reached me, I held it carefully, staring into the hole made by that bullet and I was overwhelmed. In my hands was not just a relic of war, but a miracle. A physical reminder that God’s protection can manifest in the most tangible ways.
