Dec 16 - Mayor to Receive Bethlehem Light of Peace

mayor tony limaOn Wednesday 18th December, at 10:30 am, at the City Hall, His Worship the Mayor, Anthony Lima, will be receiving the Bethlehem Light of Peace on behalf of the people of Gibraltar. The Light will be presented by the Scouts’ Association (Gibraltar Branch), as has now become traditional, following its collection, this year, from the Movimiento Scouts Catolicos in Sevilla. This year His Worship cordially invites members of the general public who may wish to avail themselves the opportunity of taking a light from the light may do so between the hours of 10.30am and 1pm.

Scouts and Guides will then take the light on to other Churches and places of public or cultural importance – indeed, to anybody that appreciates the significance of the "gift". The aim of the campaign is to include as many people as possible and to take them the light and peace message, which encourages everyone, but especially Scouts and Guides, to actively create peace in their environment by being tolerant towards people of different ethnic, cultural, political or religious groups.

His Worship the Mayor and Mrs. Lima take this opportunity to wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.
