People in several cities across Germany plan to continue with the traditional peace marches on Easter Sunday.
According to the Peace Co-operative Network, organizers are planning events in the eastern cities of Halle and Frankfurt-an-der-Oder on the Polish border, for example.
In the western state of North Rhine Westphalia, the Rhine-Ruhr Easter March is set to make its way from the city of Essen to Bochum on Sunday. The motto of this year's Easter marches is "Now more than ever - together for peace."
According to the organizers, the central themes are demands for negotiations in Russia's war against Ukraine, which violates international law, as well as in the Gaza war. Protesters are also calling for nuclear disarmament and criticizing rising arms spending.
Thousands of participants already took to the streets in 70 German cities on Saturday.
In Cologne, for example, police reported that around 300 participants gathered on Roncalliplatz, a square near the cathedral, under the rallying motto "For a civilian turning point: End wars, stop armament!"
The motto used the term Chancellor Olaf Scholz coined, "Zeitenwende," or turning point in Germany's defence policy shortly after Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago.
Germany's traditional Easter Marches emerged from last century's pan-European peace movement calling for nuclear disarmament and protesting the arms race, with the first Easter march held in Britain in 1958.
This year, marchers in Germany are also demanding a more fundamental rejection of the logic of war and militarization.
