Date de diffusion: Fév 16, 2020

Katherine Jenkins explores sacred inspiration at St Mary’s Kempley in Gloucestershire, home of unique 12th-century Bible paintings. Historian Dr Michael Carter explains their origins and expert Rachel Turnbull reveals the remarkable close-up detail. Katherine also hears about the Chapel of Our Lady in the Crag in North Yorkshire, a tiny space carved into a rock, which has become a place of pilgrimage for many Catholic visitors. JB Gill visits Bloomsbury Baptist Church in London, designed with unusually impressive architecture. He reveals its legacy of sacred music-making and progressive Christian faith. Katherine then meets PJ Crook, celebrated artist to the rock and pop world, who now uses prayer to inspire her paintings, including a beautiful altarpiece she has created for her home church in Gloucestershire.
