*What is a Peace Pole?

The Peace Pole program had its beginnings in 1955. Peace Poles are recognized as the most prominent international symbol and monument to peace. They remind us to think, speak and act in the spirit of peace and harmony and stand as a silent visual for peace to prevail on earth

Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four or six sides. There are estimated over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace
