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.
