Global Forgiveness Day , also called “World” or “National”
Global Forgiveness Day is held on July 7th. It is also referred to as “World Forgiveness Day” or “National Forgiveness Day”.
International Forgiveness Day is held on the first Sunday of August
Forgiveness Day is a time to forgive and to be forgiven. Which would be a pretty good thing, because there are two major organizations in particular that lay claim to creating Forgiveness Day. If you dig deeply, you will discover that there are a number of other “Forgiveness” days, created by primarily Religious organizations, or organized groups promoting the concept of forgiveness. These holidays are World or international events. There’s enough trouble and strife in the world and the existence of multiple forgiveness days can only help to make the World and our life a little better. We agree with the creators of this holiday, that a little more forgiveness will help make the world a better place.
All of the holidays promoting forgiveness, have one thing in common: to forgive and forget wrongs. Put aside grudges and bury the hatchet. It’s time to end the feuds because life is too short to hold in pain and anxiety. Forgive people and you will find your life is calmer, and more peaceful. Forgiveness goes both ways. While much of the focus of these days encourages you to forgive others, it is also important to seek forgiveness to both God and others, for any wrong doings you’ve done.
Global Forgiveness Day began in 1994 which was created and sponsored by the Christian Embassy of Christ’s Ambassadors. This holiday originated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Depending upon a variety of sources, this holiday is sometimes called World Forgiveness Day and National Forgiveness Day.
International Forgiveness Day was created by the World Forgiveness Alliance, a non-denominational, educational foundation. According to their website: ” International Forgiveness Day is dedicated to evoking the healing power of forgiveness worldwide.” The founder is Robert W. Plath, from Mill Valley, California.
Use today to clear your conscience and your soul and take a few moments to sincerely forgive someone and to ask forgiveness of others. If possible, make the apology public. That way forgiveness will spread.
Other Forgiveness Day Dates:
Many Organizations, or religious groups, have held “Forgiveness Days” on various dates during the year. Many of them are one-time or small, localized events.
