ANGELS gathered for the first nativity 2,000 years ago and they are back again in modern times at a North-East cathedral.
Challenged to produce a crib scene for St Nicholas’ Cathedral, in Newcastle, students at the city’s Dame Allan’s Schools took the Angel of the North as their inspiration.
Three A-Level Art students, Sarah Richardson, Jonny Fawcett and Becky Marshall, produced life-size figures, which were transported to the Cathedral in the school minibus.
School principal John Hind said: “We’re very grateful to the Dean for commissioning the crib and it’s an honour for the schools.
“The figures the students have produced are a stunning and moving modern interpretation of the nativity.
“We have all been impressed by their talent and creativity.”
