From Cell to Cathedral - images of Julian

Norwich Cathedral is extraordinarily impressive with its Norman and Gothic Architecture however we were looking for evidence of Julian which we found in one of the panels of a stunning stained glass window of British saints including kings and founders of monasteries. Julian was the only woman represented. The modern statue in a niche near the West Porch was completed by sculptor David Holgate in 2000 to mark the new millenium. Josie and I were able to participate in a Festal Evensong at the Cathedral which ended with a procession of all of the clergy, choir members and congregation outside to this statue where a special hymn to Julian was sung and the blessing pronounced. I found it very moving as Holgate's statue captures for me Julian's compassionate heart and keen mind.
