International Day of Peace!

September seems to be flying by and even I have started decorating for Halloween/fall. This year will zoom to the end and 2022 will be upon us. The best part is the cooler weather this heat has got to go. We finally are experiencing some days in the 80's only to be blindsided soon with temperatures in the 90's. It has been awhile since making a blog post and thought I would kick it off again with a national holiday.

International Day of Peace, also known as the World Peace Day, is a day that is celebrated on September 21st to acknowledge and show appreciation for all of those who worked to promote peace and end conflict, whether it is in their home country or in the world. It is also a day in which warring factions, both of a political and a personal nature, are supposed to put away their differences – for one day – and call a cease-fire of hostilities. In 1981, the United Nations’ General Assembly passed a resolution making the third Tuesday of September each year International Day of Peace. In 2001, the United Nations decided that International Day of Peace should be observed on the 21st of September instead and set the observance of that day starting the following year. After setting this date, the U.N then decided that this day should be a global cease-fire day. People all over the world celebrate International Day of Peace in a variety of different ways. These include planting trees for peace, lighting candles and holding candle light vigils, attending peace-related art exhibits and going for peace walks. People may also attend various public events such as public speeches and concerts.
