The White Poppy is a symbol of peace that advocates putting an end to wars and is worn in remembrance of the military and civilian casualties of wars. The first known example of the symbol is in the mast-head of the January 1909 issue of De Wapens Neder (Down With Weapons), the monthly paper of the International Antimilitarist Union in the Netherlands. The broken rifle symbol is used by War Resisters’ International (WRI) and its affiliates but predates the foundation of WRI in 1921. He also described the circle as representing the eternity of time, encompassing the past, present, and future. But for the Banner and the Pact, Roerich described the circle as representing the totality of culture, with the three dots being Art, Science, and Religion, three of the most embracing of human cultural activities. Roerich came across numerous later examples in various parts of the world and knew that it represented a deep and sophisticated understanding of the triune nature of existence. Perhaps its earliest known example appears on Stone Age amulets: three dots, without the enclosing circle. According to the Roerich Museum, “The Banner of Peace symbol has ancient origins. In 1935 a pact initiated by Roerich was signed by the United States and Latin American nations, agreeing that “historical monuments, museums, scientific, artistic, educational and cultural institutions” should be protected both in times of peace and war. Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947) was the founder of a movement to protect cultural artifacts, whose symbol, a maroon on white emblem consisting of three solid circles in a surrounding circle, has been used as a peace banner. The symbol is a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters “N” and “D,” standing for “nuclear disarmament.” Pax Cultura Emblem It was invented on the request of Lord Bertrand Russel, head of the British ‘campaign for nuclear disarmament’ or CDN and sponsor of mass marches and sit-downs in London.
The anti-nuclear emblem or the peace sign is one of the most widely known symbols in the world. The dove represents the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. It was popularised by the artist Pablo Picasso in 1949 and became widely used in the post-war peace movement. The dove and olive branch was used by early Christians and became current in the 18th century.
