Call for Peace this Easter

For all Christians and people of good will Easter time is the celebration of the triumph of life over death and hope over despair.

We call on all Russian and Ukrainian soldiers and all politicians, organisers and workers to lay down their arms and refrain from all war efforts from the Orthodox Good Friday, 14 April, to Easter Monday, 17 April 2023.

We hope that the Easter Peace, which the front-line soldiers on both sides should celebrate together, will also mark the beginning of political peace negotiations.

People all over the world long for peace, in Ukraine and Russia, but also in many other parts of the world. The world is on the brink of both nuclear war and a climate crisis of apocalyptic proportions that we can only solve together and in peace.

Let’s support the Easter Peace with vigils and rallies around the world.
