CHURCH OF ENGLAND FOLLOW THE STAR EVENT

Durham Cathedral was illuminated for A special service, which was led by the Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler. The Night of the Stars Lumiere event, was projected onto the north transept of the cathedral, featured stars, images from the gospels, and other pictures illustrating the Christmas story. It was the first time the Church of England had used the technology as part of a service of worship and the event was live streamed to a worldwide audience on Facebook. The crowd gathered outside the cathedral to watch the illuminations, listen to readings and sing carols.
