Sacred Expressions: The Arts in Worship

In this week-long series of Daily Services, different voices reflect on how the arts - music, painting, sculpture, and more - can deepen our spiritual lives.

In this week-long series of Daily Services, different voices reflect on how the arts - music, painting, sculpture, and more - can deepen our spiritual lives. Each day, a different piece of art will be introduced, with the speaker sharing how it has shaped their faith, inspired their ministry, or opened new understandings of the divine. Through scripture, story, and sacred art, they explore the ways God speaks to us not just in words, but in colour, sound, and form.

In today's service, Revd Dr Victoria Johnson, Dean and Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, reflects on Handel’s Messiah

Music
All recordings are from Handel: Messiah, The Sixteen & Harry Christophers (Coro)

I know that my redeemer liveth
Hallelujah
Pifa (Pastoral Symphony)
How beautiful are the feet
For unto us a child is born
Surely
Worthy is the Lamb
Amen
