context_page_description: The “Light of Peace from Bethlehem” is a sign of peace during Christmas time, founded in Austria. The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation founded the “Light of Peace from Bethlehem” as a new Christmas tradition in 1986, more than 30 years ago. The State of Upper Austria has supported the Light of Peace from the very beginning. It shines each year all over Europe, in the United States and even in some countries in South America. In recent years, it has also been handed over to many political and religious leaders as well as international organisations.
  For the last 30 years, the light has served as a reminder of the message of Christmas on the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem, and thus of the deeper meaning of Christmas, mainly peace. Every November, a specially selected child travels to Bethlehem with hundreds of participants of the “Friedenslichtreise”. A delegation led by the Governor of Upper Austria Thomas Stelzer also accompanies this trip. This child receives the light in a lantern from the Birth Grotto in Bethlehem. Austrian Airlines then brings the Light of Peace in a special oil lamp to Austria. in a special oil lamp.
