From 11:30 p.m. on December 31st to 12:30 a.m. on January 1st each year, “Universal Hour of Peace” hopes to take a step towards a war-free world. The day encourages the promotion of peaceful activities during the hour of observance. Organizations around the world host events supporting an hour of peace. Some include prayer, music, poetry, or speeches. While gatherings may be large or small, the effort overall will be to spread the word of peace in every heart and mind regardless of faith.
