EDITORS COMMENTS
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island or Iona of the North, is a tidal island located off the northeast coast of England in Northumberland. With a recorded history dating back to the 6th century, Lindisfarne has been an important centre of Celtic Christianity, with Saints Aidan of Lindisfarne, Cuthbert, Eadfrith of Lindisfarne, and Eadberht of Lindisfarne playing significant roles in its spiritual heritage. The island's rich history is evident in its architectural gems, including the ruins of a priory that was re-established after Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England. A small castle was also built on the island in 1550, adding to its unique character. This photograph captures the Castle on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, standing proudly against the backdrop of the North Sea. The castle, surrounded by the ooze or mudflats, is only accessible by foot at low tide, adding to the mystique and allure of this sacred place. The waters of the tidal channel reflect the sky, creating a breathtaking scene that transports us back in time. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne has long been a place of pilgrimage for those seeking spiritual enrichment and a deeper connection with the past. This photograph is a testament to the island's enduring charm and its role as a beacon of faith and history.
