Peace Tree at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine Tree Lighting
Time Out says
Thu Mar 15 2012
As it has for nearly 30 years, the colossal cathedral decorates its 20-foot tree with about 500 paper cranes (in Asia a symbol of harmony, longevity and reconciliation). The tradition was inspired by 11-year-old Hiroshima survivor Sadako Sasaki, immortalized in the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, who succumbed to radiation-related cancer before she could finish folding 1,000 origami cranes. On view through Thu Jan 6. All ages.
