Four Years On, Coventry's Canon Affirms 'We Still Care' For Ukraine
25 Feb
Summary
- A vigil at Coventry Cathedral marked four years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
- Damaged body armor, painted by artists, was displayed at the event.
- The decorated armor recognized NP Aerospace's supply of body armor to Ukraine.
A solemn vigil at Coventry Cathedral offered a message of enduring support to the city's Ukrainian community on the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion. The Reverend Kate Massey emphasized the importance of holding space for those affected, stating, "This is Coventry, this is our city's chance to show the Ukrainian community, that we still care." This sentiment underscores the ongoing commitment to solidarity and prayer for Ukraine.
The vigil featured unique art pieces created from damaged body armor, a project known as ArtArmor. These plates, which had previously saved lives, were artistically decorated with religious icons. The decorated armor was presented to NP Aerospace in 2023, acknowledging their contribution of thousands of body armor items to Ukraine. These poignant artifacts, loaned by NP Aerospace for such events, serve as a testament to resilience and remembrance.
