Universal Hour of Peace Day

Universal Hour of Peace Day is December 31

There are so many conflicts, both big and small that exist around the world, but wouldn’t it be nice if just one hour could be spent peacefully each year? That’s the idea behind the Universal Hour Peace, a global celebration of cooperation and love. The goal is to spend the hour from 11:30 PM December 31 to 12:30 AM January 1st without any sort of fighting or conflict. Soldiers will hold their fire and family members will stop their squabbling so that everyone can celebrate the New Year in peace and hope that the tradition will continue on through the year. 

The idea is that bringing in the new year in a peaceful way will start the new year off with a peaceful thought and intention.
