SOUNDBITE: Linda Roeckelein / National Cathedral"We wanted to honor the children who lost their lives in Connecticut recently. And we wanted to do that in children's chapel, which is all to the scale of a 6-year-old child. They lost their precious lives and so we wanted to make something very child-like and spontaneous-looking to represent these dear children. So we made angels out of paper doilies and used styrofoam as the form underneath the doily. And styrofoam heads, so they were really childlike, as if children had made them. And then we set them in the chapel on the altar on cotton to represent clouds. I was thinking about that today. It also could represent the snow children might have been playing in at Christmastime. But we really felt so moved to do something to show our love for these little lives that have gone on."4.Medium on angels5.Wide on angels6.Detail shot of angels7. Tilt up to angel face8.

Twenty childlike angels made of paper doilies adorn the altar in the Children's Chapel of the Cathedral, each representing one of the children from Newtown, Connecticut. Each angel stands between eight and ten inches tall and has white feathers as wings and gold wire as halos. They sit on clouds made of white, fluffy cotton and placed along the altar.The Children's Chapel in the Cathedral is designed to a scale for six-year-old children, including child-sized chairs, an organ and intricate metalwork. The Sandy Hook angels will be on display through Epiphany, January 6, 2013.--------------------------------------------------------------------
