UPF Founders Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon were present at the programs in New York and Las Vegas. Similar events have been organized by UPF chapters around the world.
- Goal: Celebrate and commemorate the legacy of individuals who have made a valuable contribution to peace: people who lived with distinction and honor and for the sake of others, making a difference in their family, their community, their nation, and the world.
- Method: Legacy of Peace Ceremonies that honor and remember them with fondness and respect. Framed photos are placed in a row on a table at the front of the room. One by one, a representative of each person being honored lights a candle in front of the photo, lays down a floral bouquet, and stands behind the photo. Representatives of various religious traditions offer prayers, and a moment of silence is observed. For more information, click here.

"The possessions and social position you have accumulated during your life will pass away from you. Once you cross the river of death, such things will have no meaning. Because we were born in love and lived our lives in love, love is also the only thing that remains with us when we are in our graves. We receive our lives in love, live by sharing love, and return into the midst of love. It is important that we live in a way that we can leave a legacy of peace and love behind us." [read more]
