Peace Vigil on Mayday

On Mayday- a day when so many traditions and beliefs are celebrated and honoured by so many good souls, the Interfaith Contact Group of Brighton and Hove will be holding a peace vigil at the wonderful Peace Statue – also known as the Peace Angel. The statue stands between Brighton and Hove, and serves as a focal point for many peace demonstrations in our Beautiful City. Please do join us at 6.30pm for the vigil and also a beautiful walking meditation carried out by Elizabeth Archer of the Pebbles Sangha.

Peace Prayer April 2026

We pray that…
The door is opened
To peace

May peace walk abroad
In accursed places

We pray that…
The commands
To set the machinery in motion
And the places
Where earth and flesh
Are dishonoured
Are healed

Let us nurture gardens
Plant orchards
Grow flowers 
Hear the bees buzz
Listen to birdsong
And the sweet sound
Of butterflies in flight

May we open the doors
To peace
Let the sun shine in
Bringing warmth to the soul
Compassion for the innocent

Let us pray for peace
And greet peace
Like an old friend
And let love prevail
Amen
