Symbol of Peace
Someone recently asked me about peace poles. A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth,” usually in a different language on each side. The message is referred to as a peace prayer. There are more than 200,000 peace poles on every continent. The Peace Pole Project was started in Japan by The World Peace Prayer Society in 1955, shortly after World War II, by Masahisa Goi.
