- Had an awesome time on Lindisfarne. Here one can view my photos as you skim over the sands and causeway to Holy Island and enter another world.
Lying just a few miles off the Northumberland coast, Holy Island is cut off twice-daily from the rest of the world by fast-moving tides. Both an island and a picturesque village, Holy Island carries a wealth of history within its tidal walls.
This stunning and remote island is home to Lindisfarne Castle and Priory and is surrounded by breath-taking coastal scenery. Cut off from the world and reached by a causeway only visible at low tide, Holy Island is popular with tourists and pilgrims alike.
From the Holy Land to Holy Island: The gospel travelled all the way from Israel in the first century throughout Europe and finally came to Iona in Scotland before arriving at Lindisfarne. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD. It was an important centre of Celtic Christianity under Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, Cuthbert, Eadfrith of Lindisfarne and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was re-established. A small castle was also built on the island in 1550.
Once the tourists have gone, and the sea has covered the causeway, this island becomes a wonderfully quiet place to escape to. As I walked around the island, there were dozens of skylarks singing, along with meadow pipits and lapwings. Many seals could also be heard singing a mournful yet beautiful song which echoed for miles.
The music I've included in this video is from Jon Lord (former Deep Purple). Jon's 3 tracks are called 'Road to Lindisfarne', 'Music For Miriam' and 'Afterwards'. To buy Jon's music go to jonlordshop.org/
Jon (former master of rock - Deep Purple) sadly died on 16 July 2012. I have loved all of Jon's music, through his Deep Purple days (yes and I'm still watching them in November 2017 at Manchester) and throughout his classical years. Meeting Jon personally will always remain a treasured time - he is greatly missed.
'Road to Lindisfarne music is from his Durham Concerto with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Matthew Barley Mischa Damev and of course, John Lord. With grateful thanks to The Orchard Music on behalf of AVIE Records.
The second track on this video is by Iona, and is called 'Lindisfarne'. To buy music from Iona, go to www.iona.uk.com/
A big thank you. Well done. Good final thoughts at sunset. Shalom.
Thanks Sydney... appreciate your comments
After being blessed byyour latest podcast i visted your web page and wow! Being a Messianic Celt one place i would have loved to visit was Lindisfarne.
