Interfaith Candlelight Prayer for Peace in Israel, Palestine, and Here

On December 3, 2023, the Metrowest Interfaith Community and others gathered for a candlelight prayer and a shared meal together at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Holliston. Our Jewish and Muslim neighbors, Christian, Baha’i, Sikh, and others joined in as we brought together our sorrow and grief for so many uselessly killed, men, women, and children, of those still held captive, and so many others affected by this awful tragedy.

From the Qur’an, teachings of the Baha’i, Christian, and Hebrew scriptures, from poetry, music, and reflection, we raised all our hopes for a peace that not only ceases violence but provides a future full of hope for everyone.
