Old Coventry Cathedral Ruins
As you can see, The Charred Cross in the Old Cathedral is
a replica. The actual cross is kept inside the
New Cathedral (below) for safekeeping.

I visited here yesterday and found
this quiet spot right at the back of the
Cathedral where The Charred Cross is displayed
and Books of Remembrance can be found nearby.
Happy Birthday, Mom xx

It's a beautiful cross!
A sign of hope as well as faith.
My Dad waked from Kenilworth to the cathedral the day after the bombing..he said everything was still smoking.

Given the history, the replica and the original have a sense of peace to them.
Impressive shots!
nice of you to wish your mother happy birthday on your photoblog ... beautiful photos
I agree with William, the charred cross is incredibly symbolic, it would evoke different emotions in all who view it. Many happy returns to your lovely mum Lauren.
Interesting history and very moving.
Simply beautiful.
And, happy birthday, mom.)
Sad but sweet.
