Peace Flame Runners
at the 24th Annual International Peace Prayer Day


The flame on this candle circled the globe before finding a permanent home in northern New Mexico at the Santuario De Chimayo. It originated with the torch that was carried around the world in 1986–the first run designating a United Nation’s International Year of Peace, and has burned at the Santuario ever since.

The same flame has been used in the Chimayo Prayer Pilgrimage for Peace every year since 1987 (the 5th year of the Peace Pilgrimage). It has been carried by International Peace Prayer Day runners to the Jemez Mountains site of International Peace Prayer Day, at Guru Ram Das Puri, for the past 25 years.

Come be part of this uplifting event, as a runner, or to welcome the runners, and the Flame at the Peace Flame Run finish. Contact Dham Khalsa

May we “keep the flame alive” in our hearts. It represents the love of God within us which people of God are called to share - with one another and with all creatures on Planet Earth.
