Coventry Cathedral ruins, with vigil for Ukraine
Coventry Cathedral ruins, with vigil for Ukraine
The vigil took place on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The east end of the cathedral ruins can be seen bathed in blue and yellow light, the colours of the Ukrainian flag. It is framed by the arch of the west door. The old cathedral was reduced to a roofless ruin in the air raid of 1940, and has since become a site of peace and reconciliation.
