Today is #StCuthbert 's Day, Bishop of #Lindisfarne , who according to #legend discovered the #causeway linking the #HolyIsland with the mainland. On Lindisfarne, the socket of the #SaintsCross , known as the Petting Stone, is still leapt over by #NewlyWeds for #Luck . #Tradition
My painting of Lindisfarne Castle is finished and signed.
In the spirit of the times, I've not included any distant figures..... #Northumberland #HolyIsland #Farnes #StCuthbert

St Cuthbert’s Cave on a drizzly March day.
Nestled in the Kyloe Hills, Northumberland, it is thought the monks of Lindisfarne laid St Cuthbert’s body to rest here in AD875 when the Danes invaded Holy Island.
