MEMORIAL STONE

A Covid-19 Mosaic Memorial Stone was unveiled in the Community Garden of Dunipace Parish Church, near Falkirk, on November 21.

The stone was designed, crafted and gifted by Lesley Robertson, and the stone plinth was built by Sam Hutcheson. Both Lesley and Sam are members of the congregation.

Lesley chose light colours with flowers, symbolising new growth and hope. The image of brokenness through the use of Mosaic becomes complete when all the pieces come together in faith.

The Church Community Garden provides a space where folks from the community can enjoy a time of reflection. The Covid-19 Memorial Stone is a lasting reminder of the pandemic, allowing the community always to remember not only those who have lost a loved one to Covid-19 but also the many who were unable to grieve their loss of a loved one due to the pandemic restrictions.
