On November 14, 1851, the Minister of the Seal of the Third French Republic, De Moreni, was ordered by the Governor of the French Republic, Jerome Bonaparte, to go to Saint-Amand Town to mourn the departed Marshal Surt.
Not long after Moreni left Paris, the news of Surt's passing inundated the entire city. By that afternoon, all of Paris knew that Grand Marshal Surt had left this world.
Under Jerome Bonaparte's guidance, some Parisians "spontaneously" went to Concorde Square to pray for the departed Grand Marshal Surt. White candles were held and lit by every "volunteer" participant, illuminating the entire Concorde Square.
Meanwhile, the Bishop of the Paris region was also invited to Concorde Square for the main prayer ceremony. Led by the Bishop, the Parisians sang hymns together in Concorde Square.
At 8 p.m., the prayer concluded under the leadership of the Archbishop of Paris, and people gradually left Concorde Square.
