Exeter cathedral

Came close to being thrown out of another cathedral today. This time because someone had inconveniently decided to get married there.

Thankfully we'd had a good look round by then, and so went off for a gingerbread latte with Lorrie and Thomas (who preferred eating his socks.)

There was some interesting artwork around, and even a video installation on domestic abuse, in a side chapel. Nearby were some things that looked like mushrooms from a distance. In fact they represented people's heads, covered in veils. The message was about how we try to hide ourselves from each other, and from God.





At the East end was a textile work, a pentatych I think, depicting the stages of life (and beyond). Each panel had an appropriate Scripture verse; interestingly, the one for teenage years was this:

Isaiah 49
15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
