Is a world-wide movement, led by christian women of many traditions.  It is celebrated in services on the first Friday in March each year in over 170 countries throughout the world.  Each year the service is written by the women of a different country and is sent around the world by the World Day of Prayer international committee, based in New York.  Committees in each country prepare it for use in their own country.  I has been officially celebrated in New Zealand since 1931.
