Join us after Evensong on Palm Sunday (29 April) at 7.00pm for a Slow Art session, held both in church and online, and led by Marc Woodhead. Slow Art is a simple, reflective way of encountering a single work of art together, taking time to look carefully and share observations.
We will be looking at The Triumphant Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, a plaster cast of a 12th-century relief by an unidentified Venetian sculptor from the Capella Palatina. The cast was made in Palermo in 1869–70 by Signor Rosario Riolo and is now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
All are welcome—no prior knowledge of art is needed. Simply come, look slowly, and reflect together on this image of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week.
