Learn how the cult of Mithras and early Christianity shared powerful ideas — light and darkness, sacrifice, rebirth, and sacred meals — offering hope in the Roman world.

Walk along Watling Street, one of London’s oldest Roman roads, as you move from a hidden pagan temple to one of the world’s greatest cathedrals.

Arrive at St Paul’s Cathedral and admire its magnificent dome rising above the city. Notice the grand columns and the phoenix carved in stone — symbols of rebirth and faith.

Inside, take in the vast nave and the high altar with its ornate canopy, rich in Christian symbolism. Finally, descend to the crypt to see the resting places of Sir Christopher Wren and J.M.W. Turner.
