International Human Peace Sign
Human Peace Sign
The internationally recognized symbol of peace which became hugely popular in the 1960's, is having an on going resurgence. Throughout the world, as part of the ongoing efforts of The Humanist Movement promoting non-violence, the 'Human Peace Sign' has emerged.Beginning in Budapest, Hungary, the symbolic act is being held in cities across the planet. On March 17, 2007 marking the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq, these cities will unite, each forming their own human peace signs. These events will begin with a simple ceremony, sometimes accompanied with music and entertainment and then their lanterns/candles/torches will be lit and they will all stand together forming a giant peace sign. Humans from all walks of life, religious beliefs and races will symbolically join together, showing that their desire for peace comes from deep within their hearts. They believe we must open the lines of dialogue regarding any acts of war. The deaths of innocent people and the continual build up of the nuclear arsenal of any nation, is unacceptable.When viewed or photographed from above, the Human Peace Sign will twinkle in the night showing there are those who believe peace to be attainable.
