The United Nations International Day of Peace, marked every year on September 21st, is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations, and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace worldwide. Since its inception, Peace Day has marked our personal and planetary progress toward peace. Established by the United Nations resolution in 1982, “Peace Day” has grown to include millions of people around the world who participate in all kinds of events, large and small. Events range in scale from private gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of people participate. Anyone anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent meditation. So please take this opportunity to make peace in personal relationships as well as making a difference on a larger scale. And may we all be blessed with peace in our lives.
