The so-called Cuthbert cross as pendant.
This beautiful small-shaped medieval cross pendant was inspired by the famous Cuthbert Cross from the years 640 to 670 AD.
Cuthbert of Lindisfarne was a Northumbrian monk and the later Bishop of Lindisfarne. He is said to have worked many miracles and is still venerated as a saint today.
The medieval cross pendant is a scaled-down copy of the historical original once worn by Cuthbert.
Link to the historiscal cross...
The Cuthbert cross measures 3.2 x 3 cm and is cast from bronze and also available in real silver-plated.
A leather cord in 1 m length for the cross pendant is included.
Saint Cuthbert entered a monastery at the age of 15 and soon made it his mission to visit remote places to spread the gospel. He eventually became the prior of the monastery at Lindisfarne.
Before that, he lived for many years as a hermit on the island of Farne, until the King of Northumberland finally persuaded him to take up the episcopate at Lindisfarne.
After his death, he was buried in the monastery church. When the Vikings conquered the area 200 years later in 793 and the monks were forced to flee, they took Cuthbert's remains with them and eventually found a resting place for him in Chester. His final resting place is in Durham Cathedral.
