See the place where the tides and the seasons and the turning of the earth all come together and everything that is becomes one.

You’ve got to seek that place with your soul.

This carving of a human figure was found in the Bishop’s garden in Gloucester around 150 years ago.

The figure is of Jesus. We can tell that because there are rays of sunshine around the figures head, which means it is a special type of halo called a cruciform. This type of halo is only used for representations of Jesus.

Saxon Christus

The figure is believed to be around 1000 years old.
