EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Eric Burns, we witness a momentous occasion that took place on the 20th of May, 1979. The image showcases The Rt Revd Dr John Habgood, the esteemed Bishop of Durham, striking the doors of the magnificent Cathedral with his staff. This powerful gesture symbolizes an act of significance within the Christian faith. Dressed in his distinguished vestments, complete with a cussock and mitre adorning his head, Bishop Habgood exudes authority and reverence as he stands before the grandeur of the cathedral. His presence is both commanding and humble, embodying the essence of spiritual leadership. This photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also encapsulates an era -the vibrant 1970s- when traditional religious practices were still deeply rooted within society. It serves as a poignant reminder of how religion played a central role in people's lives during this period. Eric Burns' skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail; from the ornate design on Bishop Habgood's staff to the weathered texture on the cathedral doors. This remarkable print transports us back to an era where faith was celebrated openly and religious leaders held great influence over their communities. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of our rich cultural heritage but also inspired by those who dedicated their lives to serving others through their unwavering commitment to their faith.
