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.
