Peace Flag (World)
SKU: PCW35P
The peace symbol has an evolving history.. It first was its first used in the United Kingdom by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1956 at a march in Adermaston. The flag consisted of a semaphore with "N" for nuclear and "D" for disarmament.. The symbol was adopted ten years later as a general symbol of peace and the anti-war movement. It became probably the single best known symbol of 1960's youth culture. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament originated out of the Europe's traditional churches. As a result, the symbols are based on two references to the Bible: - The outer circle, designating EARTH (often referred to as waste and void, as told in Genesis 1:2)
- The inner design, the "witch's/crow's feet" designate God reaching down with the gift of salvation. John 3:16).
The appropriation of the symbol by the peace movement in the sixties, was not fully understood by non-traditional and fundamentalist Christians. Instead of embracing a movement their sister churches started, they came up with a satanic meaning for the flag: calling it the Witch's Foot, or Crow's Foot or Broken Cross. Some even said the flag was a symbol of Christ's arms dropped in despair. In the 1980s, the symbol was embraced by the environmental movement in North America. The aqua coloration is an example of the flag's new "Green Symbolism." Flag Measures 36 in x 60 in and is 100% polyester with grommets for easy flying.
