How is it possible for a church to be a memorial? We are standing in front of the Church of St Cyril of Turau and All the Patron Saints of the Belarusian People. It’s a church that stands as a poignant testament to resilience. It’s dedicated to the memory of the victims of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The church itself is a relatively new addition to London’s landscape. It was consecrated in December 2016 marking the tragic anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. What makes this church even more unique is its construction. The Church of St Cyril of Turau and All the Patron Saints of the Belarusian People is the first wooden church built in London since the Great Fire of 1666. The church serves as a spiritual home for the Belarusian community in London. It stands as a symbol of hope and resilience. They have rebuilt their lives far from their homeland. This church is a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
