Day of Peace
Healing Our World's Wounded Peace
Dr Abe V Rotor

passing over Flanders's Field of long ago,
when suddenly fired upon from down below;
it's history repeating the battle cry. - avr
Wounded Peace in acrylic by the author 2020
The world has never been at peace. Two world wars, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and many conflicts all over. This painting is dedicated to peace in today's troubled Ukraine.
World Peace Day, is a United Nations-sanctioned holiday observed annually on 21 September. It is dedicated to world peace, and specifically the absence of war and violence, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone for humanitarian aid access. The day was first established in 1981 and first observed in September 1982 and is kept by many nations, political groups, military groups, and people.
"Long live absolute world peace."
The International Day of Peace, is also officially known as Day of Peace, celebrated every September 21 since 1982. To inaugurate the day, the United Nations Peace Bell PHOTO is rung at UN Headquarters (in New York City). The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents except Africa, and was a gift from the United Nations Association of Japan, as "a reminder of the human cost of war"; the inscription on its side reads, "Long live absolute world peace".
