Lindisfarne Cross T-shirt
Named Keltoi by the Greeks, the Celts were the tribal peoples of western Europe in the pre-roman period, whose crafts-people created a brilliant art style. The Monks of the early Christian Church incorporated these distinctive intricate weavings and knot work patterns into their illuminated Gospel manuscripts. Celtic patterning reflects the Celtic belief in the continuity of life, the interconnection of all things. Plants, animals, otherworldly divinities, the elements themselves are venerated in these magical weavings. Welsh artist Jen Delyth from the Lindisfarne Gosples reproduces this design. It is a section of the cross-carpet page introducing the gospel according to Saint Mark. The Lindisfarne Gospels, made in north-east England less than a century after the introduction there of Christianity, is one of the world’s greatest masterpieces of manuscript painting. The four Holy Men who made it are documented as Aldred, Eadfrith,Ethelwald and Billfrith. The Monastery of Lindisfarne was founded in AD635 on a small outcrop of land, now known as Holy Island, laying among the sands a mile and a half off the Northumberland coast.
