The 2 minutes of silence is a symbolic gesture to honor and remember the victims of war, violence, and other global issues. It is also a call for peace and reflection on how we can work towards a better world.
The tradition of observing 2 minutes of silence began in 1919, after the end of World War I. It was initially called the Armistice Day Silence and was observed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, to commemorate the end of the war.
The 2 minutes of silence is typically observed by pausing all activities and remaining silent for 2 minutes. During this time, people may choose to reflect, pray, or meditate on the meaning of the silence.
The 2 minutes of silence is observed for the world as a way to bring attention to global issues and conflicts, and to promote peace and unity among all nations and peoples. It is a reminder that we are all interconnected and that our actions can have a global impact.
Yes, 2 minutes of silence is also observed on other occasions, such as Remembrance Day, Holocaust Memorial Day, and International Day of Peace. It is also observed during major sporting events as a way to pay tribute to athletes and spectators who have passed away.
