Previously displayed in the Houses of Parliament, the poignant and impactful “50 Faces of the Holy Land” exhibition showcases the resilience and faith of the Christian community of the Holy Land – traditionally defined as the area of Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan.

From the news unfolding in our media every day we see the daily suffering of our brothers and sisters; through the exhibition, Friends of the Holy Land seeks to raise awareness and support for its mission to help the Christian community in crisis.

To mark the 50 Faces of the Holy Land exhibition’s time in Ely, special prayers will be said at Evensong at the Cathedral at 5.30pm on Tuesday 29th July service attended by The Rt Revd Dagmar Winter, Acting Bishop of Ely. This reflective service will bring the local community of the Cathedral together, along with the wider community of Ely, to pray for peace.  All are most welcome to attend. 

The Evensong service will be followed by a simple reception where there will be an opportunity to speak with Brendan Metcalfe, CEO of Friends of the Holy Land who will provide an update on the life-changing projects supported by the charity as well as little reported news from his network of contacts in the Holy Land. 

Tickets: Entry for services is free. At other times, entry to the exhibition is included with your Cathedral visitor ticket or pass. Visitor tickets can be purchased online in advance or on arrival on the day.
Please check for any changes to opening hours before visiting. The exhibition is in the Lady Chapel.
