A series of images of hope were projected onto the facade of Lichfield Cathedral over the Easter Holy Week, to help inspire others during the Covid-19 crisis.
Christ's death and resurrection, messages of hope and support for the NHS were among the art images displayed.
The images were created by Luxmuralis Artistic Director and Lichfield Cathedral’s artist in Residence Peter Walker.
Cathedral teams here joined many across the country in offering alternative ways of marking Easter during the lockdown. In Lichfield they held a digital prayer wall and broadcast services live over social media, to help bring communities marking Easter together.
