The Vigil for International Peace & Ecology has stood as a beacon of joy and peace in the heart of Central Park since its inception after tragic events of 9/11. Rev. Susana Bastarrica brings together an array of performers and inspiring guests from around the world to celebrate the U.N. International Day of Peace together each year, all in the spirit of the prayer, “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” Bravo, Susana!
