Lindisfarne ââ¬â also known as Holy Island ââ¬â is one of the most important centres of early English Christianity. Irish monks settled here in AD 635 and the monastery became the centre of a major saintââ¬â¢s cult celebrating its bishop, Cuthbert. The masterpiece now known as the Lindisfarne Gospels was created here in the early 8th century. The ruins now visible are those of a 12th-century priory, which claimed direct descent from the early monastery. Taken 20/04/2021 |
