The Portiuncula Guild community gathered at Thomas Chapel in early June to celebrate the Feast of St. Eadfrith of Lindisfarne and to bless the new chapel altar created by Stan Fettig.
Eadfrith of Lindisfarne, a 6th century Celtic bishop in Northumbria, is believed to be both the scribe and illustrator of the Lindisfarne Gospels – one of the finest examples of Anglo-Saxon/Celtic art – a multi-year project that he did not live to complete. Eadfirth is also credited with the restoration of the hermitage/oratory of St. Cuthbert on the Isle of Farne as a place of pilgrimage and prayer.
In the spirit of St. Eadfrith of Lindisfarne, we honor the artists, craftsmen, designers, visionaries, and laborers who have contributed to Thomas Chapel’s revitalization and emerging life of prayer and work. We celebrate these local artists as spiritual leaders, illustrators of the sacred stories, or lovers and restorers of holy things
Nancy Strachan gathered images and words inspired by the day's events and we put them together in the following video. Thank you, Nancy.
