Contemporary Art in Catholic churches
Contemporary art, including sculpture, stained glass and innovative iconography, finds a home in Catholic spaces across the UK.
I am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25-26)
Christ proclaimed himself to be the 'Resurrection and the Life', just before raising his friend Lazarus from the dead.
The Crucifixion (Psalm 22:1-18)
Psalm 22 is a prayer for relief from suffering. It was traditionally attributed to King David and also understood as a reference to the crucifixion of Christ.
The Childhood of Christ (Luke 2:39-40; 51-52)
Although it’s a favourite subject in art, little is actually known of the childhood of Christ. St Luke's gospel says that after his birth in Bethlehem, he grew up in Nazareth, living in obedience to his parents.
