Lectern at Southwark Cathedral

The lectern at Southwark Cathedral is a beautiful and ornate piece of furniture that serves as the reading stand for the Holy Scriptures during services. It is located in the nave of the cathedral and is made of brass with a wooden base. The lectern features intricate details, including a winged eagle with outstretched wings perched on top of a ball, which symbolizes the Gospel's message spreading throughout the world. The eagle is a traditional symbol for the Gospel of John, as it represents John's soaring spiritual language and his focus on the divine nature of Christ. The lectern is a significant part of the cathedral's liturgical and architectural heritage and is a stunning example of traditional Christian artwork.
