ROCKFORD — A church founded decades ago by Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish immigrants will hold a candlelight vigil tonight to unite Rockford in prayer for the Ukrainian people.
The vigil will take place at 6 p.m. outdoors at Christ the Savior Orthodox Church, 1802 Pershing Ave.
“This will be a place for people to join in prayer and ask God for peace and healing in the hearts of those suffering this tragedy,” organizers said in an announcement of the vigil.
There will be prayer before the Theotokos of Vladimir, the Lady of Vladimir, an icon depicting the Christ Child embracing his mother Mary – a symbol connecting with the mothers of Ukraine and their suffering after the Russian invasion.
