Hi there Petergee - oh thank you for Posting, now I do not feel quite so foolish! for resurrecting a thread a long 12 months cold!..There is no requirement for people to say these or any other words. They are only asked to “offer a sign” to each other. Depending on culture, age, sex, and how well you know your neighbours this could be the word “peace”, a handshake, kiss, hug. bow, or, yes, the two-fingered sign popularised by the hippies.
Peace to you brother! (complete with the two-fingered peace sign popularised in the hippie era and now universally known)…if I turn to someone I know in Mass for the sign of Peace its not unknown for me to give a little hippie peace sign.
Well said in your Post Petergee!
No matter how we express or say it, its communicating sincerity that is the core element.
