The monastery of Lindisfarne was founded 634 by Saint Aidan (pic) who was sent from Iona to Northumbria by King Oswald.
Holy Island was an important centre of Christianity under Saints Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadfrith, and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. Saint Bede wrote much of what we know about this history.
With frequent attacks from the Vikings, the Abbey was plundered and destroyed. #nature#Wildlife#art#Photography#Forest#Wood#northumberland#wild#winter#island#holy#religious#church#saint
