The term 'Period of Forgiveness' is often used in reference to AMNESTY, which is a 7-letter word. AMNESTY is an act of forgiveness granted by a government or other authority to a group or class of people, typically for political offenses. It is usually granted to those who have committed a crime or offense against the state, and it can also be used to refer to a general pardon for a group of people. AMNESTY is often used as a way to promote peace and reconciliation between conflicting parties.
