Shining a light on: Helios. Here Comes The Sun

Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast or simply curious, join Southwell Minster for fascinating insights from academics, experts, and their own passionate guides in this series of Cathedral Talks. Tickets may be bought in advance through the Minster website, or the Cathedral shop, or on the door.

‘Here comes the sun’: the mythological and religious story of humanity’s relationship with the solar. This talk explores the way in which different cultures through the centuries have responded to the star which gives them life, from the Sun God Huitzilopochtli of the Aztecs to Stonehenge, the luminous paintings of Turner to poetry presenting Christ as ‘the Great Sun’.
