This annual, international event is to encourage participants to engage with individual works of art. After a short introduction, participants will look at 5 artworks in the Cathedral: spending about 10 minutes on their own looking at each artwork. We will then meet up and discuss reactions and discover more about them and how art works in the sacred space of the Cathedral. The artworks will include some of the following:
The Lazarus Reliefs. These carved reliefs depict the Raising of Lazarus and were carved in the twelfth century.
The Baptism of Christ by Hans Feibusch. This work was commissioned by Bishop George Bell in 1951.
Noli Me Tangere by Graham Sutherland. This picture, of the risen Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene, was painted by Sutherland in 1960 as a commission by Walter Hussey.
Resurrection by Hans Feibusch.
The five wounds by Michael Clark. This installation dates from 1994. The wounds of Christ are located at five points of the Cathedral.
