The Peace Light from Bethlehem is on the move again in 2011. Sara Schinwald from Munderfing Austria had her lamp lit by the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Bethlehem on Monday 11/21/11. On Wednesday Sara, along with a little help from Austrian Airlines brought the Peace Light back to Austria. On Saturday she will appear on the Euro Vision program "The Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights". This is the 25th year the Peace Light has traveled to Austria, and when it arrives at New York's JFK airport on 11/29/11 it will be making its 10th journey to North America.
So far there are finalized plans for 27 Peace Light distributions, from Boston Massachusetts in the East to Rancho Santa Margarita California in the West, Winnipeg Manitoba to the North and Dripping Springs Texas to the South. Please
