Church of the Holy Name -- October 24, 2010

A wooden post in front of the church has writings in Arabic and what I think is German. Later, the church e-mailed me saying, “The post in front of the church is a 'Peace Pole', with the phrase 'May peace prevail on Earth' in eight languages, which track the eight major faiths that are depicted on our inter-faith window. There are similar peace poles all around the world.”

According to the Peace Poles website, the Peace Pole Project started in Japan in 1955 in response to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
