Peace Light from Bethlehem delivered to many countries
Peace Light from Bethlehem has reached many countries through Scouts and Guides who as every year went to Vienna to get small flame with big symbolic gift - gift of peace.
Or as Austrian organizers said:
“The ORF-Light of Peace from Bethlehem is not a magical symbol which is able to bring peace by itself. It tries to remind us all to bring peace to our world and it tries to raise awareness for peace in our every day life. The small flame which is passed on from candle to candle, from hand to hand should be a sign for peace between us all.
Just like the light is given from one candle to another, peace should be spread as well. On the 24th of December millions of homes will have the ORF-Light of Peace from Bethlehem in their homes as a symbol for global awareness, that peace is the one thing that binds us all together.”

“On December 17th, the “Peacelight” was brought to the Central
Railway Station in Utrecht, The Netherlands in the middle of the country. From here
many Scouts from all over the country came to this railway station in
order to get the “Peacelight” for distribution in their own village
or city. All train travellers at this station received a symbolic
light from the Scouts.”
Ales I just found it on the website.
