What a memorable place to remind us all onthe value of peace. And well done integration of the new church next to the remainders of the cathedral. On the downside: the amusement park like atmosphere in the cathedral ruins with e.g. an ice cream truck does not really honor the memory in my view.

This former church in Coventry was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
