The famous Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland has lately been lighting up with flags of different countries and various messages to express solidarity while we all deal with a pandemic.

It is the famous Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter who has been lighting up the 14,690-foot mountain with spellbinding displays of country flags and messages of hope to inspire solidarity as people deal with the coronavirus spread.

On Friday night, the tricolour on the jagged mountain looked majestic and grand. The mountain stands on the horizon amid the border between Switzerland and Italy.

Sometime ago the mountain also illuminated with the American flag for a few hours to express solidarity during the pandemic.

‘Our thoughts are with all American people at this unprecedented time. We look forward to meeting again at the foot of the Matterhorn, we are all in this together,’ the tourism organization Zermatt Matterhorn wrote on its Facebook page while sharing the pictures.

It also lit up with flags of other countries like Germany and Japan as well.

This particular method of expressing solidarity with the world is not only stunning because of the aesthetics but also hopeful. It symbolises that we are all #inthistogether and things will get better one day.
