“Pause for Peace – A Global Call for Unity and Hope“

This St. Brigid’s Day, February 1st, people worldwide are invited to Pause for Peace—a minute of silence at 12 noon local time. Together, we can send a powerful message of hope, solidarity, and opposition to war and violence.

Launched in 2023 by Kildare Tourism and Solas Bhríde, this inspiring movement celebrates St. Brigid, the Bringer of Peace, and has become a global tradition. Beginning in New Zealand, the Pause for Peace ripples across continents, uniting communities in a shared moment of reflection and commitment to peace.Join us in answering the call—let’s Pause for Peace and help create a more peaceful world.”
