As Christmas Fades The Spirit Of Good Will Remains With This Child-Made Eight Meter Angel

16/1/2024

Great Yarmouth Angel
Ruben Cruz via BBC News
​As you know, this year is a leap year. To mark the 366 days of this calendar orbit, a total of the same number of feathers have been used to construct a giant angel sculpture. The eight-meter-high symbol of God’s message and law stands bearing down on visitors to Great Yarmouth’s Minster in Norfolk. Intended to attract thousand of visitors for the entire year, seaside goers can be awed by the magnificence of the hand-made statue.
 
Each of the 366 feathers used to make the statue are said to represent “days of hope and positivity” BBC News.

Made by children, who attended Reprezent Project workshops and adults who are part of the Walk and Talk local men’s mental health group, the combining of community and direction helps to unify the true meaning of God’s universality. Even those who don’t necessarily believe can still believe in the goodness of doing the right things and choosing to love over hate whenever possible.
 
By working together, the communities have been able to collaborate on the work and involve each other in the entire process. Bonding different projects together through combined efforts is a serious activity for the forward progression of the wider population. This level of inclusivity can also be represented in the angel symbol, with God’s servants appearing to Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and their mythological analogues appearing in various other unrelated cultures around the world.
 
Constructed with willow, bent into a woven figure shape, the body was dressed in paper mâché and then decorated with the feathers to represent the days of 2024. On view to visitors to Great Yarmouth Minster in Norfolk for the whole year, you can get some salty air, eat some ice-cream, and go and see an angel.
