A Day of Peace and Reconciliation: it will be held on March 8th by the "John Paul II" International Charity and Volunteer agency at Ucam (Catholic University of Saint Anthony at Murcia), under the patronage of the Papal Council Cor Unum of the Holy See. The event is part of the VII World Days of Charity and Volunteering that will be held in Murcia and Madrid from February 26th to March 9th. One of the purposes of the Day is to stop all conflicts and terrorism, give a chance to reconciliation, and do something for peace. But the key reason behind the event is to pray for the eradication of violence and the promotion of activities that show the will to achieve a peaceful cohabitation of different peoples. In addition, the International Charity and Volunteer agency invites the civil bodies and the population to show, with some outer signs, for instance a white tie or a white cloth, their wish to work for peace and reconciliation between different peoples. The organisers of the Day would also like people to observe one minute’s silence on March 8th. Not only Catholics but also Christians of other confessions and believers of other religions are invited to join the Day.
