"V Blansko 2013 History The “Light of Peace from Bethlehem” is a sign of peace during Christmas time, founded in Austria. The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF OÖ) founded the “Light of Peace from Bethlehem” as a new Christmas tradition in 1986, more than 30 years ago. The State of Upper Austria has supported the Light of Peace from the very beginning. It shines each year all over Europe, in the United States and even in some countries in South America. In recent years, it has also been handed over to many political and religious leaders as well as international organisations. For the last 30 years, the light has served as a reminder of the message of Christmas on the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem, and thus of the deeper meaning of Christmas, mainly peace. Every November, a specially selected child travels to Bethlehem with hundreds of participants of the “Friedenslichtreise” (journey of the Light of Peace). A delegation led by the Governor of Upper Austria Thomas Stelzer also accompanies this trip. This child receives the light in a lantern from the Birth Grotto in Bethlehem. Austrian Airlines then brings the Light of Peace in a special oil lamp to Austria. in a special oil lamp. There, it is passed from person to person on Christmas Eve. With the help of several organisations, such as the Scouts, the Red Cross or the Austrian fire brigade, the light is distributed from Upper Austria throughout Europe and the world. The Light of Peace travels several kilometres until it reaches its destination. Upper Austria's Governor Thomas Stelzer personally leads the delegation to deliver the Light of Peace from Bethlehem via Linz to Brussels, the European Capital City. Traditionally, it is handed over to the President of the European Commission as well as to the political leaders from all EU countries in a Christmas Ceremony. In 2018 the light was also officially brought to the Royal Family in Belgium for the first time. Historically, the light has been a symbol of peace on several occasions. In 1989, the light was welcomed by 10,000 people on the main square of the south Bohemian city České Budějovice as a symbol of the new neighbourhood and solidarity. In addition, it shone at the opening of the Berlin Wall. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, an Upper Austrian delegation brought it to the new neighbours in Berlin and Thuringia in Germany. The Light of Peace was also presented at Ground Zero in New York and to UN soldiers at the Golan Heights. The Light of Peace is meant to be a call to everyone to stand up for peace and therefore consciously pass on the light. During a private audience, Pope Benedict XVI called it a “symbol of hearts”.
