Luxmuralis has returned to Peterborough Cathedral with a spectacular sound and light show.
It follows on from their acclaimed son et lumière performance at Peterborough Cathedral last November.
Luxmuralis features their art projection The Beginning and it is at the cathedral until Saturday 26th November.
This sequel to The Angels are Coming has once again transformed the magnificent west front and nave of Peterborough Cathedral with light.
The show is based around the Nativity story and timed to coincide with the start of the Advent season.

The audience will see a colourful light projection onto the outside of the Cathedral, accompanied by music composed by David Harper.
After the screening, the audience enters the cathedral itself to experience an immersive light and sound installation, this time inspired by the fragility and beauty of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The artistic director of Luxmuralis, Peter Walker, said: “We are delighted to return to the cathedral and present this new adapted work this Christmas.
