Inflatable models of Earth and Mars are tethered next to the stage for the mystery plays. On the scaffolding are two model giraffes.
York Minster

York Minster is a Gothic cathedral and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is cathedral for the Diocese of York.
The first church on the site was a wooden structure built hurriedly in 627 AD. A stone structure was completed in 637 AD, since which the Church has undergone many refurbishments as well as serious damage including a fire in 1984 which destroyed the roof in the south transept.

The York Mystery Plays 2016

The 2016 production of the York Mystery Plays was held in York Minster. A massive stage, on four levels, had been built in the nave in front of the tower, which was used very effectively. Unfortunately photography wasn't permitted during the performance, so I have no pictures.
