50 Faces of the Holy Land (Exhibition)
2nd May - 13th May
FREEThe ’50 Faces of the Holy Land’ project is a photographic exhibition, curated by Friends of the Holy Land, designed to highlight the lives of the Christian people in Israel and Palestine. The exhibition, featuring photos by Marcin Mazur, tells the stories of 50 people living in the Holy Land – Israeli and Palestinian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Samaritan, and Druze.
Since its creation in 2017, it has been displayed in venues such as the Houses of Parliament and cathedrals and churches of different denominations across the UK, showcasing the resilience and faith of those living in the Holy Land. The exhibition was originally commissioned by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England & Wales.
From the news unfolding in our media every day, we see the daily suffering of our brothers and sisters. Through the exhibition, Friends of the Holy Land seeks to raise awareness and support for its mission to help the Christian community in crisis.
To mark the ’50 Faces of the Holy Land’ exhibition’s time in Newcastle, there will be an inclusive service of Choral Evensong at 6pm on Wednesday 6 May. We will pray for peace and reconciliation in the Holy Land, and the service will be followed by a Q&A with Brendan Metcalfe, CEO, Friends of the Holy Land– see below for more information.
