Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness at the NMA
The altar cloth was commissioned by The Royal British Legion Women's Section. Its design is based on the theme taken from the book of Revelations:
"The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations".
Three crosses hang on the wall behind the altar. One is the Sword of Sacrifice that is present at every Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, the other two are made from elms destroyed by Dutch Elm disease and represent the thieves' crosses.
