Hello and welcome to a special edition of the Nature Garden Podcast, with me, Carl Stiansen.
In this episode, we shine a light on one of the world’s most famous books, the Lindisfarne Gospels - an amazing work of art made on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the coast of Northumberland, England, around thirteen hundred (1300) years ago.
Acknowledged as a masterpiece of Anglo-Saxon England, the book is a decorated copy of the Gospels of the Bible featuring… ornate painted lettering, drawings and patterned pages with multi-cultural influences.
In 2022, St Mary’s Church, Holy Island, and Lowick and Holy Island C of E First Schools, celebrated the creation of the Lindisfarne Gospels, and parishioners and pupils, joined artists and experts, for ‘The Art of Words’ festival.
I was fortunate to catch up with one of the speakers, Lindisfarne Gospels expert, Professor Michelle Brown.
I invite you to join us for a wonderful journey into the work of Eadfrith, Bishop of Lindisfarne.
