Peace Pole

A pole inscribed with "May Peace Prevail on the Earth" in eight languages, including Braille, is located on the ECM's front lawn. The Peace Pole Project started in Japan in 1955. War begins with thought of war; peace begins with thoughts of peace.

From the Peace Pole website:

"Peace Poles are often planted to commemorate special occasions, such as holidays, anniversaries, events and festivals. Or any date may be chosen to dedicate a place to peace.

A Peace Pole may grace a town square, a school, a park, a place of worship, an office or a garden. Or they can put forth your community as an example of how to live in peace. Whatever the location, the presence of a Peace Pole announces that this is a special place, dedicated to peace on Earth.

Planting a Peace Pole is a way to bring people together on an inspiring project to join in a network of peace consciousness that is emerging all over the world."
