San Sebastián, Spain

An SOPP ceremony was held at the Miramar Royal Palace in San Sebastián. The ceremony, which featured live violin music throughout, opened with a salute to the seven directions and an introduction to the SOPP, followed by a peace dance called “Namaste.” Next, representatives from four different faiths and traditions led participants in prayers, meditation, or songs. Participants also offered two universal prayers for peace, and listened to an original prayer and an inspiring text. They raised the flags of the world to pray for peace in all nations and regions, and concluded by holding hands and forming a large spiral as they sang and danced.
