Ambassador Renate calls Pakistan Easter Bombing 'Heinous'

At least 70 people were killed and more than 300 wounded after a terror attack in Pakistan

ARK in Berea (ICEAnews)  – In what she calls ‘heinous’, Ambassador Renate is condemning the Easter bombing of Christians in Lahore, Pakistan.
In a tweet, Ambassador Renate Jakupca says her thoughts and prayers are with all those killed or injured in the bombing yesterday at a park in Lahore that was crowded with families, with many women and children among the victims.
At least 70 people were killed and more than 300 wounded.
A breakaway Taliban faction that has publicly supported the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility, saying it targeted Christians celebrating Easter but most of those killed were Muslims.

STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACKS IN BRUSSELS by American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca

STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACKS IN BRUSSELS
by American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca

ARK in Berea:  We want to express our solidarity with the people of Belgium in the aftermath

of the attacks that took place in Brussels.  Along with All the Worlds Children,
we are distressed by the pictures and of the news of the loss of lives.

The wave of terror that has been unleashed in Europe and elsewhere around

the world are attacks against our very way of Life and against the Peaceful
Values of Iceality upon which our sustainable Culture of Peace systems have
been based.

We must utterly reject the use of deadly acts of terror.

We and All the Worlds Children must rededicate ourselves to these core

values of Iceality – ‘Becoming more like Angels than Human Beings’.  

We must strengthen our alliances as our way of life and the international

WCPM system, that has been built on our common values since the First Easter,

comes under challenge from these and other acts of evil.

“Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the families, friends and

especially the children of all those affected in Belgium at this terrible time.

On behalf of all at the Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM)

worldwide working for Peace, we keep hope alive and we are all the
Worlds Children here for you during this difficult time";
Ambassador Renate, First Lady of Peace.

Peace Friends,
David Jakupca,

Ambassador Renate

Palmsonntag at the ARK in Berea

Ostern ist wahrscheinlich einer der wichtigsten weltweit mit vielen Traditionen und Bräuche. Mit dem Ende der Karnevalszeit am Aschermittwoch ist die 40 Tage lange Fastenzeit begonnen. In der Woche vor Ostern Karwoche genannt wird, beginnt mit dem Palmsonntag.

An der historischen ARK in Berea, jedes Jahr am Abend vor dem Palmsonntag bereite ich zusammen mit David und meine Freunde, die Palmzweige . Wir dekorieren in der Regel die Zweige mit Schlaufen, Brezeln und andere Snacks, die dann getroffen werden und am Palmsonntag in der Kirche geweiht. Wer ist der letzte Morgen wird auf die Tage in der Karwoche bis bekommen lustige Namen. Als Kind wollte ich immer zuerst aufstehen, so dass ich nicht den ganzen Tag "Palmesel" genannt werde.

Eine ganz besondere Bedeutung für mich hat der Gründonnerstag. Denn an diesem Tag färben meine Freunden und ich jedes Jahr die Ostereier. Wir verwenden keine gewöhnlichen Farben, sondern färben unsere Eier mit verschiedenen Kräutern und Zwiebelschalen. Ein weiterer Brauch ist auch das sogenannte „Eier ausblasen“, wo wir mit einer feinen Nadel in das Ei hineinstechen und versuchen den Dotter herauszublasen. Diese Eier bemalen wir dann, da sie als Dekoration verwenden werden. Ebenfalls bereitet am Gründonnerstag  meine Mutter den traditionelle Korb mit Speck, Käse, Brot, Eier und das traditionelle Osterlamm für die Speisenweihe am Ostersonntag vor. Ich wurde schon des öfteren am Gründonnerstag als „Hantlersgare“ bezeichnet, da ich zu spät aufgestanden bin :-)

Am nächsten Tag ist der Karfreitag und an diesem Tag sowie Aschermittwoch, sagt es der Kirche Tradition, dass man kein Fleisch verzehren sollte. Wenn Sie an diesem Tag zu spät aufstehen, genannt "Karfreitag Ratschn".

Mit dem Ostersonntag findet die Fastenzeit ihr Ende und um 5:00 Uhr morgens nehme ich gemeinsam  mit meiner Familie jedes Jahr am traditionellen Osterfeuer vor der Kirche teil. Um 14:00 Uhr findet auf der Schmitten die alljährliche Ostereiersuche statt. Letztes Jahr war ich dort mit mein Mickey. Obwohl das Wetter nicht so schön war, hatten wir jede Menge Spaß. Es befindet sich dort ein großer Schneeberg, wo Ostereier mit verschiedenen kleinen Gewinnen versteckt sind. Kinder und auch Erwachsene sind eingeladen an dieser Suche teilzunehmen, wo es gilt das goldene Osterei, indem sich ein stolzer Geldbetrag von $5.00 verbirgt zu finden. Vielleicht haben ja Sie heuer das Glück und finden das goldene Ei !

2016 International Woman's Day

Today is International Women's Day - March 8th, 2016.

You may have noticed that there are a lot of International "Day"s popping up: "National Frozen Foods Day" was on Sunday, and later this month there's an International Goof Off Day.

International Women's Day isn't an arbitrary "Day" invented in the age of the internet to spark funny conversations on Facebook. It was founded more than 100 years ago to celebrate the battles on the forefront of gender equality.

At the time, garment workers in the United States were striking for fair wages, and women in dozens of countries were fighting for the right to vote or hold public office. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire alone, there were 300 demonstrations on International Women's Day.

Today, the fight for women's rights looks different – in huge part because we've come so far. But make no mistake, there is progress we have yet to make. Women are still facing discrimination throughout the world, and in different cultures those fights look different.

Please join All the Worlds Children us in celebrating International Women's Day by first taking a moment to appreciate how far we've come, and how many women have fought tooth and nail to secure the rights that we have today. Then join us to build on those victories by adding your 'Liking and Sharing" one or more of these campaigns - or start your own WCPM campaign to push for women's rights in an area you didn't see represented here.

Thank you for all that you do, to defend and advance women's rights around the world.

Ambassador Renate Jakupca, David Jakupca, Baba Brohi, Pakistan Peace Emissary , Robin Anne and the WCPM Team
