This Chapel has as its focus a replica of an extraordinary piece of art – the Stalingrad Madonna.

The curved figure of the Virgin Mary enfolds her baby in her hood, her eyes closed. The words around her translate as ‘1942 Christmas in the cauldron…Light, Life, Love’.

It was drawn at a time of terrible suffering, but the mother keeps her baby safe, a symbol of light, life and love.*
