EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unveiling of new figures of St Michael and St George at Manchester Cathedral on November 11th, 1938. The majestic cathedral, located on Victoria Street in central Manchester, serves as the seat of the Bishop of Manchester and is officially known as the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys, and St George in Manchester. The image showcases the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating these exquisite statues. Standing tall against the backdrop of this medieval church, they exude a sense of divine presence and spiritual significance. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments seems to come alive under the soft glow filtering through stained glass windows. As we delve into this snapshot from the 1930s, we are transported back to an era where religion played a prominent role in society. This photograph not only documents a momentous occasion for Manchester Cathedral but also provides us with a glimpse into history - reminding us of our rich cultural heritage. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from the Manchester Evening News Archive, this image stands as a testament to both faith and artistry. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turbulent times, such as those leading up to World War II which loomed just around the corner from this date, beauty can still be found within sacred spaces like churches and cathedrals.
