An installation in the sanctuary of Bath Abbey

Four huge letters spelling the word ‘HOPE’ will provoke reflection on a theme which is central to the good news of Jesus Christ at the heart of the Abbey. As we face local, national and international crises in many dimensions, this installation gives visitors the opportunity to pause, reflect and pray.

The sanctuary, where the central act of worship recalls the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, sits beneath the beautiful stained glass East window. The window’s 56 panels illustrate the life, work and teachings of Jesus who Christians believe is the eternal hope for all. The installation is open during visiting times and during evening events to celebrate Harvest, to welcome students and to promote Christian social action.
