Coventry Cathedral is one of the most powerful symbols of peace and resilience in the UK. The original cathedral was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and instead of rebuilding the ruins, the city chose to keep them as a reminder of hope. Right beside it stands the stunning modern cathedral, opened in 1962, celebrating reconciliation and new beginnings. A place where history, art, and faith come together beautifully. | Jannatul Forain Nishu

Tomorrow marks 85 years since St. Michael’s Cathedral was bombed during the Coventry Blitz. Here are some of the final images of what the inside of the Cathedral looked before being destroyed. The shell of the Cathedral remains as the Ruins standing side by side the New Cathedral that opened in 1962 to remind us of our human capacity both to destroy and reach out to our enemies in reconciliation. Tomorrow we honour the lives lost tragically on 14th November 1940 while reaffirming our city’s mess

Did you know the story of Father Forgive originally etched in chalk in the Ruins of St. Michael’s Cathedral after the Blitz, Provost Howard immediately chose the path of forgiveness and reconciliation, which made Coventry Cathedral internationally recognised from this point to today, inspiring others to walk the path towards reconciliation and peace building. Here’s Canon Nitano Muller to explain more! #FatherForgive #reconciliationis #Reconciliation #PeaceBuilding | Coventry Cathedral

As part of the ODI100 celebrations, RAF Odiham’s Padre visited The Cathedral Church St Michael, Coventry to reflect on a shared history. On the 14th November 1940, Coventry was hit by an 11 hour raid, codenamed “Moonlight Sonata” resulting in devastation of the city. Amongst the ruins, the Cathedral sustained catastrophic damage, the only Cathedral to be destroyed in the Second World War. In the 1960’s, a new Cathedral was constructed, next to the grounds of the old ruins. The decision to leave
