Praying for Peace on Earth

Will the wars and suffering ever stop!

I saw this carved stone statue in a souvenir shop in Stellenbosch. I thought it would be a good idea to post it after going to church this morning.

A lovely statue. Such difficult times for so many.

A lovely statue and I think it means caring and peace.

[Mags]

Sadly, as long as there are greedy, corrupt, envious people in this world, there will be war. It's a lovely carved work of art.

[Beryl Lloyd]

How beautiful , and nicely presented. - a lovely statue - so much care and tenderness towards all as the arms and hands encircles all humans of different race and creed .

[Anne]

Lovely, meaningful symbol Diana, this world certainly needs peace

[katy]

It is a great photo of this memorable statue. We should never give up hope or stop praying but I feel @marlboromaam may be right

[Merrelyn]

It's a lovely piece. Unfortunately I think that @marlboromaam is right and we can also throw in the need for power over others.

[Corinne C]

A beautiful statue. Today It’s difficult to envision a World without war, unfortunately. But let’s hope that we, humans will become wiser.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Lovely photo and background. I have no words for all the hate.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

It is lovely. The world sure is a mess.

[Bucktree]

A lovely piece and well captured. So many trails of tears have been walked by so many through time to get us to this point. The hatred in this world will someday bring an end to all mankind. The haters are too ignorant to understand.

Beautiful

I wish all wars would end soon and peace would come! 🕊 A good figure that unites everyone, a favorite!💕

[Cordiander]

Wonderful message! We could all use that.

[Olwynne]

Unusual statue. Such a shame that a beautiful piece cannot bring about world peace

[Renee Salamon]

It’s very beautiful as is the sentiment- it’s hard to understand how the world has lost its way in the 21st century

[Peter]

Interesting subject and narrative Diana, man’s inhumanity to man springs to mind:)

[Carole Sandford]

What a lovely work of art!

[Heather]

A beautiful sculpture! I think Beryl describes it well. Thank you for this, Diana! I am heartbroken at the violence and slaughter unfolding. We need to hold on to the vision represented by this work of art! Fav

[George]

I heartily agree with your sentiments.

[gloria jones]

Nice photo of this statue. My family and friends are praying for peace worldwide.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Prayer is a powerful weapon against many things so I'm praying the peace will come to those areas in conflict very soon. Nice shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

When will we ever learn?

[LManning (Laura)]

Fascinating art.

[Rick]

Interesting piece of carvings. Totally agree with your sentiments.

The carving is so meaningful in this frightening world we live in. Will we ever learn from the past?
