Dean of Derby to join Ukraine candlelit procession

The Very Revd Peter Robinson, Dean of Derby, will join a candlelit procession to mark the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

The procession, on Friday, 24 February, will start from Cathedral Green at 6.20pm and then move along full street, Derby Market Place, and up Iron Gate to Derby Cathedral.

Those who wish to join in are asked to congragate at Cathedral Green at 6pm.

At the end of the procession, those taking part will be invited to place their candles near the foot of the cathedral tower to spell out '365' as a powerful, visual reminder.

Afterwards, Dean Peter will lead prayers inside the cathedral. All are welcome.

And on Sunday, 26th February, local leaders of the Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Baha’i and Quaker faiths will offer short prayers and readings at a vigil scheduled from 2pm to 3pm.

The event will include a film and music installation by local artist Phil Harris.

People in attendance will have opportunities for quiet prayer and to light a candle for an end to violence and suffering.

They will also be invited to write messages of support on a petal that will be added to a specially created Sunflower of Hope.
