Trinity - an extract from the DVD Lindisfarne - a cradle of Christianity
This video is an extract of a talk by Mary Fleeson, artist of the Lindisfarne Scriptorium. The full video is just one of many resources on the DVD Lindisfarne - a cradle of Christianity.
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is known as the Cradle of Christianity in the North of England.
In the 7th century St. Aidan travelled from Iona to found a monastery on Lindisfarne. From there, he and the Celtic monks with him, went out to evangelise the North of England. He travelled on foot and asked everyone he met if they knew Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, if they replied yes, he would encourage them to love God more. If they said they didn't he would work alongside them and tell them more about the God he served. This way of spreading the gospel was the foundation of the Celtic church in Northumbria.
This unique resource features interviews about the history of Lindisfarne, the simplicity of faith of its saints and how modern Christians have been inspired by this holy place. It features Christians who live and work on the Holy Island. It is a collection of short videos of interviews and liturgies and prayers.

Lindisfarne - An Age Borne in Fire - Extra History
Bishops. Manuscripts. Pilgrimage. Wealth. In 793 CE, the island monastery of Lindisfarne thrived in a state of harmony. Then, everything changed when the Viking raiders attacked. Once they discovered Europe's weakness, not even mighty kings like Charlemagne could stop them. They transformed their power at sea into an avenue for conquest and expansion: the Viking Age had begun.

____________
Troubling omens were recorded in Lindisfarne prior to the Viking invasion on June 8, 793 CE. It was the seat of the bishop for much of Northeastern Britain. Monks in the scriptorium produced some of the most celebrated illustrated manuscripts, and abroad they helped convert the pagans of Britain. Lindisfarne had been the final resting place of St. Cuthbert, so pilgrims often came and enriched the priory and the town. It never occurred to anyone that when strange ships appeared on the horizon, that they might be hostile. The men who disembarked were fierce, unknown, and merciless. They cut down monks in the churches and looted the church... then left. Bishop Higbald survived, and sent the news across Europe. From there, the frequency of raids only increased and raged across all of Europe. The burgeoning flame of Lindisfarne was almost snuffed out. It was the first time in history that the reach of Christianity shrank, rather than expanded. But what about the other side of the story? These barbarians, who would become known as Vikings, were striking back at a culture that looked down on them, insulted their faith, and tried to swindle them at trade. They had realized how poorly defended these both the British Isles and mainland Europe were, and how rich they were in fertile land. They put their vast knowledge of shipcraft to work and turned trading routes into raiding routes, finding new lands for them to settle. The Viking Age had begun.

Celtic Monasticism
A talk by Sr Francisca (Poor Clare, Scholar and Writer). Seventh in a series of Thursday Lunchtime Talks at St. Giles' Church, Oxford from 17th October 2013 to 5th December 2013 inclusive.
2. Celtic Beginnings
During the first seven hundred years of the Christian era, two distinct types of Christianity emerged: the Constantinian model, based on power and might, and the Celtic model, based on the power of the Holy Spirit. It was the latter that won the hearts of the Celtic people to the love of Jesus.

SUMMARY
=======
Christian monasticism is the devotional practice of individuals who live ascetic and typically cloistered lives that are dedicated to Christian worship. It began to develop early in the history of the Christian Church, modeled upon scriptural examples and ideals, including those in the Old Testament, but not mandated as an institution in the scriptures. It has come to be regulated by religious rules (e.g. the Rule of Saint Augustine, Anthony the Great, St Pachomius, the Rule of St Basil, the Rule of St Benedict,) and, in modern times, the Canon law of the respective Christian denominations that have forms of monastic living. Those living the monastic life are known by the generic terms monks (men) and nuns (women). The word monk originated from the Greek monachos monk, itself from monos meaning alone.Monks did not live in monasteries at first, rather, they began by living alone, as the word monos might suggest. As more people took on the lives of monks, living alone in the wilderness, they started to come together and model themselves after the original monks nearby. Quickly, the monks formed communities to further their ability to observe an ascetic life. According to Christianity historian Robert Louis Wilken, By creating an alternate social structure within the Church they laid the foundations for one of the most enduring Christian institutions . . . Monastics generally dwell in a monastery, whether they live there in community (cenobites), or in seclusion (recluses).
