Fun Trivia Fact: What is International Day of Peace and Where Did It Come From?

Welcome, readers, to another Fun Trivia Fact post on Jaquelle's Rose Garden. The article below was
found at Wikipedia Encyclopedia.

The International Day of Peace occurs annually on September 21. It is dedicated to peace, or specifically
the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone. It is
observed by many nations, political groups, military groups, and peoples. The first year this holiday was

from coins donated by children from all continents. It was given as a gift by the Diet of Japan, and is
referred to as "a reminder of the human cost of war." The inscription on its side reads: "Long live
absolute world peace."

The International Day of Peace is a great event that is often overlooked. I didn't even know about it until
I saw it on my calendar. There is a point to this post, if you're wondering. One of the fruits of the spirit is
peace. Peace is a great thing. I wasn't alive during WWI or WWII, but I've studied them, and I know that
they were not happy times. We need to:

Be thankful to live in a time of no world wars.

Try to keep peace with friends and neighbors.

Love God and try to be peaceful in all of our actions.
