March 30: Peace Throughout the World
This tile mosaic - titled "Peace Throughout the Word" - is located in the Moscow Metro station Novoslobodskaya. The 3 letter word written in Russian near the top of the mosaic is "мир" (mir). This word is one of my favorites in Russian as it has an interesting double meaning. Mir means both peace and world.
The banner stretching from side to side has the Russian words "Мир во всем мире" written on it. This can be translated as "Peace Throughout the World", "Peace for the all of the world" or, more simply as, "World Peace".
A friend of mine from Houston visiting me last fall took this picture. I wanted to share it with all of you today given the events yesterday and the fact it is a splendid example of artwork in the Moscow metro.
I love that mosaic.
