International Day of Peace, September 21


MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH

The United Nations' International Day of Peace - marked every year on September 21 - is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace.


The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982.

"Where there is peace, there is culture; where there is culture, there is peace."
(Nicholas Roerich)

well..peace to all...
