The Women's World Day of prayer is in March each year
Watch out for the annual Women's World Day of Prayer, a global, ecumenical movement of informed prayer and prayerful action, organised and led by Christian women who call the faithful together on the first Friday in March each year to observe a common day of prayer. In many countries they have a continuing relationship in prayer and service.
The service is written by a different country each year and that country then becomes the focus of the world's prayers on the day itself, which begins as dawn breaks over the islands of Tonga in the Pacific and continues across each continent until the last services of this special day are held back in the Pacific,on the islands of Samoa, circling the world in prayer for 36 hours.
The symbol of the Women's World Day of Prayer was designed by an Irish nun in 1982 and adapted as the international logo.
The design comprises arrows converging from the four points of the compass, four figures kneeling in prayer, the Celtic cross and a circle representing the world and our unity through all our diversity.
