St. Cuthbert, bishop of Lindisfarne, England (A.D. 634-687)
was dedicated to prayer and missionary work. At the end of his life he
retired to a hermitage on Farne Island. After his repose, his relics were
taken to Lindisfarne and in A.D. 995 they were placed behind the high
altar at Durham Cathedral. Gallery Byzantium’s "St. Cuthbert Cross" is
an exquisitely designed replica of the cross which St. Cuthbert wore when
he died. This cross dates from the 6th c. and combines early Byzantine
and Northumbrian design elements.
