A church is transforming its sanctuary into a glowing tapestry of faith and art.
A new immersive light installation, In the Beginning, has been unveiled at the Church of the Annunciation in Brighton and retells key moments from Biblical stories using animation, cosmic imagery and radiant text.
Projected within the church’s historic interior, the display brings together digital artistry and sacred storytelling through light and colour.
Vicar Anthony Murley, vicar and creator of the project, said: "We wanted to create an experience that feels both ancient and new.
"This installation invites people to witness scripture not as static text, but by using living, unfolding light.

"The light which shines in the darkness, and light of the world born at Christmas."
The installation guides viewers through scenes of creation, incarnation, and revelation using hand-drawn figures, celestial designs and animated text.
Key visuals include the phrase "Let There Be Light" blazing across the altar, ethereal depictions of Mary and the Angel, and the words "And the Word Was Made Flesh" shining in luminous lettering.
The light show forms part of a wider church initiative to explore immersive art within sacred and historical spaces, aiming to deepen spiritual reflection through visual storytelling.
In the Beginning is open to the public during Wednesday micro-services at 6pm, and at the Service of Light, Hope and Peace, which takes place on December 7 at 4pm. The church is in Washington Street.
