Christians around the world have already begun celebrating the World Day of Prayer today, a tradition initiated and carried out by women for over 50 years.
Following the sun's path around the globe, the ecumenical prayer movement is expected to draw the prayers of Christians in more than 170 countries and regions in a cross-cultural and pan-denominational experience. The annual celebratory day is this year centered on the theme "Signs of the Times" with South African women bringing attention to the HIV/AIDS crisis.
