Artifacts at Chester Cathedral

Stone mosaics were on display inside Chester Cathedral, Chester, England.

The Chester Mystery Plays form a spectacular festival presented mainly by members of the local community under professional direction. Artist B J Elvgren’s charming focus on Chester Mystery Plays and the city itself made the tapestry a US national prize-winner before the Chester Mystery Plays company acquired it to present to Chester Cathedral in 1997, since when it has been seen by thousands of people.
