The Peace Light of Bethlehem is an Austrian initiative that began in 1986. Every year since then a flame has been carried from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to Vienna on the country’s national airline, then distributed worldwide by the Scouting Association. The light arrived in Dublin during the week and was collected by members of the first and fourth Clare Scouts. This year because of war and conflict the light is needed more than ever.
The light will be presented to Bishop Fintan at the 9.00pm Mass on Christmas Eve. Please pray for peace in our Lord’s birthplace and throughout the world.
