What is the history of Peace Vigil?
The concept of a peace vigil, as a form of peaceful protest or demonstration, has roots in various cultures and historical moments. However, one notable example is the peace vigils that emerged during the Vietnam War era in the United States. During the 1960s and 1970s, as opposition to the Vietnam War grew, peace activists organized vigils as a way to express their opposition to the conflict and to mourn the loss of life. These vigils often involved individuals gathering in public spaces, such as parks or city squares, holding candles or signs with messages of peace.
