‘The Journey’ at Blackburn Cathedral


“Installed for Holy Week and Easter 2005 Penny Warden’s ‘The Journey’ – a set of fifteen life-size paintings ,  is undoubtedly one of the most important artistic commissions made by any cathedral in recent years.


Retelling and evoking the story of the end of Christ’s life in such a way as to find contemporary resonance, the paintings are a spiritual resource unparalleled in Lancashire, in the UK or anywhere else in the world.


They form the basis of the cathedral’s current mission strategy: a springboard from which to engage a world where there is so much suffering in need of transformation.”
