    A Catholic clergy member or altar server dressed in a white surplice with lace trim over black cassock is swinging a thurible (incense burner) near the sanctuary steps of a church. Smoke from the burning incense rises visibly around the figure. The altar area behind features floral arrangements, candles, a crucifix, and what appears to be a tabernacle.

    The thurifer walks up to the alter to indicate the beginning of the mass service during the 82nd Guam Liberation Day ceremony at Dulce Nombre De Maria Cathedral-Basilica, Hagåtña, Guam, July 21, 2026. Guam commemorated the 82nd Liberation Day mass as a solemn reminder to honor the courage and sacrifice of the American service members and the resilience of the CHamoru people during the imperial Japanese occupation and liberation of the island by U.S. armed forces during World War II.

    A Catholic clergy member or altar server dressed in a white surplice with lace trim over black cassock is swinging a thurible (incense burner) near the sanctuary steps of a church. Smoke from the burning incense rises visibly around the figure. The altar area behind features floral arrangements, candles, a crucifix, and what appears to be a tabernacle.
    A military color guard ceremony is taking place inside a Catholic church with blue walls and ornate marble altars. Multiple service branch flags are being presented before clergy in white vestments at the altar, while a large congregation stands in the pews. The event appears to be a patriotic religious service, likely a military memorial or liberation day mass.
    A joint military color guard ceremony is taking place inside a building with stained glass windows, likely a chapel or ceremonial hall. Personnel from multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces are present, including the Marine Corps and Air Force, in their respective dress uniforms. The foreground Marine Corporal is holding a rifle at ceremonial position while others carry flags on wooden staffs.
    A uniformed individual carries a large floral wreath with a blue ribbon banner reading 'Hasso Barigada, Rålaguen yan Tiyan' down the aisle of a church. Behind him walks a young woman wearing a crown and a sash reading 'Miss Guam Liberation,' dressed in a traditional floral skirt. The setting and elements suggest this is a Guam Liberation Day commemorative ceremony.
