Continuing our visit to Holy Island, we discover the church and Lindisfarne Priory.

The Lindisfarne Priory was founded around 635 AD by St. Aidan, an Irish monk from the monastery of Iona in Scotland. Aidan was sent by King Oswald of Northumbria to establish Christianity in his kingdom.
The monastery attracted monks and became a center for learning and piety. St. Cuthbert, one of the most famous Anglo-Saxon saints, served as bishop of Lindisfarne and was later buried there.
Lindisfarne is notoriously known for the Viking raid in 793 AD, one of the first recorded Viking attacks on the British Isles. This raid marked the beginning of the Viking Age in Europe and had a profound impact on the monastery and its community.
The raid devastated the priory, leading to a period of decline. However, the monastic community continued, and the monks eventually moved St. Cuthbert's relics to various locations to protect them from further Viking incursions.
