Built at the end of the fifteenth century, St Giles parish church in Wrexham is one of the wonders of Wales. Currently, it is home to the poignant Festival of Angels. The festival commemorates those who have lost their lives to coronavirus across Wales. Each of the 6,000 angels on display are handmade from various materials—paper, polystyrene, fabric, cardboard—some new, some recycled. The angels fill the church. Some are suspended from the interior of the tower, attached to a net and dropped into the nave. The aisles are full of angels, as is the vestry, where they welcome members and visitors alike. When I visited the festival for the first time, it took my breath away—that each one of the angels represented someone’s husband, wife, partner, dad, mum, brother, sister, friend or neighbour whose life had been lost to this cruel virus was so emotional. Sitting in a pew surrounded by the angels, I reflected on the past 21 months, and the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, angels symbolise hope and light, and I thought back to this time last year when we first heard that our scientists had produced a vaccine, and how much hope that brought us. As we enter another difficult phase of the pandemic, it is important we continue to have hope and light. I want to pay tribute to the congregation of St Giles parish church in Wrexham for creating such a beautiful and poignant exhibition, which is on display until the end of January. So many families in Wales will be facing Christmas without a loved one due to the coronavirus, and I hope the Festival of Angels will provide some comfort and strength at such a difficult time.
