The Holy Land will be the "theater" of an important sports event, somewhat like Greece at
the time of the Olympic Games - a "sacred" period that called for the suspension of wars and
consequently a time of harmony. In the Holy Land it is likewise hoped that sports, which by their
very nature are a vehicle of peace and use a universal language, represent an opportunity for
people who normally live with different rhythms and customs to meet and embrace.

On Sunday April 25 there will be a 10 km peace marathon beginning in Bethlehem and ending in Jerusalem.
