Each Child a Light exhibition launch 9th May 2026

May 12, 2026 By Jane Lewis Leave a Comment

We sang Yumma Mwhale el Hawa, a Palestinian lullaby at the launch of the Each Child a Light exhibition at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. This is a particpatory project to create quilts made up of embroidered squares, each of which commemorates a child killed in Gaza. It was an incredibly moving and heart-wrenching event. So important that we allow ourselves to feel the grief and don’t turn away.
