St Nicolas Parish Church, in Guildford town centre, is holding an exhibition of Ukrainian icons to raise funds for medical aid in Ukraine, but the banner promoting it outside has gone missing.

The banner that has now gone missing.

However, there is still time to see the exhibition that ends on July 7.

The exhibition is a joint project with the Rotary Club of Guildford Chantries and Kyiv Capital, plus a Ukrainian environmental charity Peli-can-live.

The icons are painted by Ukrainian artists on fragments of ammunition boxes retrieved by medics from the Ukraine defence lines.

They were exhibited at Guildford Cathedral during Easter and are now coming to St Nicolas for three weeks from June 16 to July 7.

All of the icons are for sale.

The exhibition is free, but voluntary donations for medical aid to Ukraine will be welcome. Refreshments will be available throughout the duration of the exhibition.
