Since 672 AD, sick people would go on a pilgrimage to Lichfield Cathedral in the middle England area called Staffordshire, in the hope of being healed.
Now centuries later – hundreds of people are passing through its doors again – this time in search of the vaccine to protect them against coronavirus.
It’s the first place of worship in England to be transformed into a vaccination hub.
The Dean of the Cathedral Adrian Dorber says, “As we pray every day for the healing of the world, and for the healing of people, this is a very, very practical way of putting our resources at disposal of the NHS [National Health Service}. And we hope God’s providence in getting the nation right.”
