Holy Island

St Aidan (Photography & Styling by Laurina)

St Aidan founded Lindisfarne Monastery on Holy Island in 635. The Lindisfarne Gospels, a 7th century illuminated Latin manuscript was written on the island.

Lindisfarne remains today a holy site and place of pilgrimage for many. Each visit begins by crossing the dramatic causeway.  This atmospheric island allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of the ancient monks who built their priory nearly 1,400 years ago. And there’s the added privilege of exploring the wild coastal beauty of Holy Island.

I was inspired to create a series of images with contemplations for meditation to acknowledge and share the impact Holy Island and the people I have met there have had on me over the years. These images are available as a digital download – it’s my privilege to share them.

I have also created a range of cards, inspired by the beautiful energy of Lindisfarne. These cards are available in the Lindisfarne Heritage Centre, Marygate, Holy Island. They are not available on line.
