"They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them afar
" They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them afar..." That was how it was nearly 2000 years ago. And that is how it is today. Except the " star" is a cross. It is emblazoned across the night sky in Newcastle. The cross shines forth from the top of a towering multi-story block of flats on Westgate Hill. 20th December 1965

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a moment nearly 2000 years ago, where the world witnessed the birth of hope. Just as it was then, today we find ourselves gazing up at a symbol that guides us through darkness and fog. However, instead of a star shining in the East, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent cross illuminating the night sky above Newcastle. Perched atop a towering multi-story block of flats on Westgate Hill, this cross stands tall and proud. Its radiant light cuts through the misty air, casting an ethereal glow over the terrace houses below. It is December 20th, 1965 - Christmas is near and this powerful image captures both the festive spirit and timeless significance of faith. The contrast between old and new becomes apparent as we contemplate how this ancient symbol continues to inspire generations even in modern times. The photograph transports us back to an era when community housing thrived amidst changing landscapes. As we admire this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us reflect on its profound message: just like that star so long ago guided wise men towards their destination, may this cross guide us towards unity, compassion, and everlasting hope during every Christmas season.
