On the sixth day of Christmas 2022 we go on a journey with William Blake’s poem,’The Lamb’, accompanied by John Tavener’s 1982 musical setting for Nine Lessons and Carols at Kings College chapel. Then we travel to St Bavo’s Cathedral to see the Ghent altarpiece by the van Eyck brothers, to ask is it possible for human words, human painting and human words to properly express the identity of Christ the Incarnate Lamb of God, through whom our relationship with God is ultimately mended? We discover that God enables sufficient meaning to be communicated through these means of revealing and creating Encounter.
