World peace is something everyone on this planet hopes they will experience in their lifetime. While there are seemingly intractable conflicts in various regions around the world, many people on earth remain hopeful that peace is still possible. World Peace Day is a holiday to mark and commemorate this world hope.
Expanding Awareness
World Peace Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 17 this year, 2015. While there are other peace-related holidays and memorials throughout the year, this coming November brings a focus on awareness of the importance of world peace before any more violence ensues.
One way the founders suggest celebrating World Peace Day is by driving with your car headlights on throughout the daylight hours as well as the night. Doing so can help to show solidarity with others celebrating the World Peace Day holiday.
Emblems of Peace
Another way to demonstrate your commitment to world peace is by creating and/or displaying images of the crane, dove or swan. These birds are powerful icons of peace throughout the world. Birds of peace can be created via origami or other graphical methods of sharing their image and likeness.
Another powerful way to spread and promote a peaceful sentiment is through flowers. Flowers have been radiating, exuding and symbolizing peace throughout the millennia, and a flower gift can convey a message of goodwill to friends, loved ones and co-workers. Adorning your own home with flowers can also send a message of peaceful energy and intentions.
The Peaceful Allure of Lilies
While just about any flower type can exude peace, stately lilies have a particular positive aura about them. White calla lilies bring a pure intention for rebirth, while Asiatic lilies offer a gentle exotic appeal.
A green plant like the Peace Lily blooms with white lilies regularly, is easy to care for, and helps cleanse the air. Their presence contributes to the positive energy of their environment on many levels. Stargazer lilies are in a league all their own; their white and pink radiance simultaneously inspires and harmonizes the recipient with peaceful thoughts.
Flower Power
Colorful mixed bouquets featuring lilies can be a beautiful World Peace Day gift as well. Tulips, roses and hydrangea as well as autumn flowers like sunflowers and chrysanthemum have an undeniably peaceful spirit.
Although awareness of the need for world peace should be in everyone's consciousness 365 days a year, World Peace Day allows for a time of connecting with like-minded souls who believe peace is possible in our lifetime.
