DURHAM CATHEDRAL

On Saturday night we went to see the Lindisfarne Gospels on display in Durham University's Palace Green Library. The Lindisfarne Gospels were written about 700AD at the island monastery of Lindisfarne, off the Northumberland coast. This stunning illuminated manuscript contains the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; the four Evangelists. Recounting the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, the Gospels are the core of Christian belief. The book was produced for cermonial use, as a representation of the splendour of God's word and the Christian religion. The gospels will be on display until 30 September.
