SUMMARY:Arrival Ceremony of the Peace Light
DESCRIPTION:On December 10, the Peace Light will once again arrive in Brussels.\nLit in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, it travels the world like the eternal Olympic flame, as a symbol of peace and hope. When journalists no longer dared to carry the Peace Light from Palestine to Jordan, one woman from Vienna, thanks to her gentle strength (according to Peace Light International), managed to bring it across the border. Today, the light travels the world, carried by countless hands and hearts, connecting people across all borders, religions, ages, and backgrounds.\nTogether with Peace Light Belgium and House of Compassion, Pax Christi Flanders welcomes the Peace Light at the Beguinage Square in Brussels. Afterwards, we will enter the Beguinage Church for a warm and inspiring program. Simultaneous translation will be provided by interpreters in the church. You are most welcome!\nProgram\n\n18:00 Welcome – Amnesty International Writing Marathon (gathering at Beguinage Church)\n18:30 – 18:45 Circle of Silence\n18:45 – 19:30 Ceremony\n\nPoetry\nTestimony by the Palestinian delegation\nMusic by Lev Adamov and Oleksii Soldatov, a Russian and a Ukrainian musician in dialogue\nTestimony by the Union of Progressive Jews of Belgium\n\n\n19:30 Soup on the Doorstep (Welzijnszorg) – warm closing with soup and voluntary contribution for people living in poverty\n\nThanks to the City of Brussels, especially the Police Services of Brussels Capital-Ixelles, for their strong cooperation.\n👉 Inscription https://www.houseofcompassion.be/inscription/\n
