Chichester Cathedral displayed a new floral installation unveiled on Saturday (April 3), remembering those impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the lives lost and affected in the city, Diocese and nation.

Volunteer flower arrangers created a calla lily installation in the Cathedral’s Mary Magdalene Chapel in the south-eastern corner of the cathedral.

The structure mirrors the staircase in Graham Sutherland’s painting Noli me Tangere, which is located on the altar of this contemplative space.
