Passionist artist Lya Vollering at Coventry Cathedral

A timely series of Stations of the Cross sculptures by artist Lya Vollering has just opened at the Chapel of Unity in Coventry Cathedral.

Lya is a member of the Passionist community based in Minsteracres, County Durham. She works at the Walled Garden there and is also involved in several campaigns for climate justice, along with her artwork.

Lya says: "I came to see that these sculptures express many kinds of suffering, conflict and injustice. They evoke the anxiety and isolation people felt during the pandemic; the burden of living in times of war, and an environmental and climate crisis...."

The Stations are an invitation to put our sufferings alongside Jesus. The exhibition is free and in a space of reflection and prayer until the 1st April 2022.

The New Cathedral is ordinarily open to all visitors between 10 am and 4 pm from Monday to Saturday, and from 12.30 until 3 pm on Sunday. The Cathedral is a busy working church so please check the worship and events calendars for more information.
