Exhibition: Stations of the Resurrection

Visit our Easter exhibition of paintings by acclaimed British artist Iain McKillop, produced through 20 months of near isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic and intended as a memorial to all who were affected by it.

The Stations of the Resurrection explore the accounts of witnesses who were convinced of Jesus' return to life following his crucifixion. McKillop hopes to make us consider the evidence of the Gospel accounts, the implications of Jesus' resurrection, and what aspects might convince us to trust in God and Christ's teachings today.

From 3 April–20 May.

Free entry during Cathedral opening hours.

Visit us

Leicester Cathedral is at the physical heart of our city and county.

Our church, built on the site of a Roman temple and dedicated to St Martin of Tours, has been embedded in the public, economic, cultural and religious life of this community for over 900 years. Since 1927, as the seat of the Bishop of Leicester, we now gather people together for worship, celebration, lament, debate and service of the poor and vulnerable.

We offer hospitality to the wider church, the communities of faith that make up our multicultural society and those who come as visitors to the East Midlands, especially in search of the story of King Richard III.

I invite you to join with us in this adventure.
