The Day out of Time, celebrated annually since 1992, always falls on July 25th. On the 13 Moon calendar, this day is no day of the month, and no day of the week. It is inbetween the closing of the previous year (July 24th) and the dawning of the new year (July 26th). The offical flag for the Day out of Time is the Banner of Peace.

This flag is flown in 71 Brazilian cities alone, where it is recognized as an official municipal holiday. In Japan, over 100 Day out of Time Festivals displayed this symbol to unify our intentions of "Planetary Peace Through Culture." This day is an opportunity to experience the freedom of being alive, true timelessness and loving kindness. Whether public gatherings or private circles, this day is a catalytic launch-pad for the year to come, a great, global harnessing of telepathic presence, and a perfect way to invite new participants into the harmony of the 13 Moon Calendar.

The program of events for the Day Out of Time should begin with the Rainbow Bridge Meditation (visualizing a circumpolar rainbow around the Earth) and include a ceremony of universal forgiveness of all beings and a prayer for the cancellation of all debts so that all beings can have the opportunity of beginning the new time unburdened. In addition to the promotion of all forms of artistic activity, celebration and performance, the Foundation for the Law of Time is also promoting this year's event as a Festival of the Future, encouraging all major three-day Day Out of Time events (July 23-25) to include displays and forums of alternative energy and lifestyles to create a Festival of the Future global village effect.

The symbol and the idea for the International Banner of Peace were both composed by artist, mystic, and activist Nicholas Roerich. Drawn from various historical symbols, the figure was meant as a cultural equivalent to the Red Cross. The banner, meant to be flown over cultural landmarks, was conceived as a symbol of the "Roerich Pact," a treaty between nations designed to protect historical, cultural, and artisitc heritage. The circle represents the unity of human culture; the three circles represent art, science, and religion- the three main vehicles of culture.

The pact, signed in the presence of Franklin Roosevelt, guarantees the protection of cultural sites even in times of war- museums, scientific institutions, schools, galleries, and the like are to be considered neutral and protected even during conflicts.
