World Peace Prayer Ceremony

The World Peace Prayer Ceremony is a global celebration of the oneness of humanity. The Ceremony invites people from every race, religion and background to pray jointly for the peace of the lands and people of the world. During the Ceremony, a prayer is recited for peace and happiness to prevail in every nation of the world.

As all assembled voice their prayers, the national flag of each country is gracefully presented, acting as a spiritual symbol through which the loving wishes for all life on earth are expressed toward every region of the world.

The World Peace Prayer Ceremony is a moving ritual of prayer for world peace. It can be a beautiful opening or closing ceremony for a large conference or gathering at a university or place of worship. A Ceremony can celebrate special occasions such as the International Day of Peace or an important date in history. It can be done in great majesty in a large hall or as a small meeting of dedicated friends of peace, with or without flags. The important thing is simply to pray for peace for everyone in the world.

Children and young people love to participate in the World Peace Prayer Ceremony, especially as flag bearers. They can also make flags by copying from a book. They also like to dress up in the national costume of the countries being prayed for. This can make an absorbing project for a classroom or a club.
