‘Magdalene at the Base of the Cross’ by Chris Gollon (1053 - 2017) will be displayed beside the High Altar of Southwark Cathedral for the duration of Lent as both an aid to worship, and to overlap with Women’s History Month in March, in which there will be talks and reflections on the Magdalene. The painting is on loan from a private collection; but originally formed part of Gollon’s national touring exhibition to English cathedrals ‘Incarnation, Mary and Women from the Bible’ (2014 – 2016), which travelled to the cathedrals of Guildford, Chichester, Durham, Norwich and Hereford, focusing only on women from the Bible.
