What is a Peace Pole?
A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message May Peace Prevail On Earth in the language of the country where it is placed. It usually displays 3 to 7 additional languages meaningful to the host site. The message is referred to as an affirmation of peace and its placement furthers Rotary's goal of building a culture of peace throughout the world.
The phrase “May Peace Prevail on Earth’s a universal message for world peace. The message was authored by Japanese poet, spiritual teacher, and philosopher Masahisa Goi.
People began to share the message at peace gatherings with supporters handing out posters and stickers with his message. There are over 250,000 Peace Poles in the world.
