The project aims to transform death, as symbolised by the ammunition boxes, into life, which in Ukrainian culture is traditionally personified by an icon. Thus, the Russian war against Ukraine is understood against the background of Ukrainian and even European history of the last millennium. The boxes on which the icons are written are brought from the war zone. In this way, the icons written on their fragments are silent but eloquent witnesses of this war. Monday to Friday 9:30am – 4:30pm. Further information Further information Apr 25 2025 13.10 - 13.50 Mindfulness Friday Drop-In Details on the Mindfulness Drop-In available at the Chaplaincy.
