ILindisfarne, nayo ibizwa nge- Isiqhingi saseSanto, itholakala ogwini olusenyakatho-mpumalanga yeNgilandi oluxhunywe nezwekazi yidwala eliqheshulwa kabili ngosuku ngamagagasi.
El ILindisfarne Monastery yasungulwa nguSanta Aidan, owayethunyelwe esuka e-Iona ogwini olusentshonalanga yeScotland aya eNorthumbria, ngokucela kweNkosi u-Oswald cishe ngonyaka ka-635. Izindela ezivela emphakathini wase-Iona zahlala esiqhingini, futhi saba yisisekelo sobuKristu ohambweni enyakatho yeNgilandi futhi bathumela nomsebenzi ophumelelayo eMercia.
Lapho, usanta owayengumphathi weNorthumberland, uSanta Cuthbert, wayeyindela futhi kamuva waba induna yesigodlo saseLindisfarne, futhi kamuva waba ngumbhishobhi waseLindisfarne.
Kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo-700, izindela zomphakathi zakhiqiza umbhalo wesandla odumile okhanyisiwe owaziwa ngokuthi amaVangeli aseLindisfarne. Kwaqala njengekhophi enesiLatini yamaVangeli kaMark, uLuka, uMathewu noJohane, kwathi ngo-900 indela okuthiwa u-Eadfrith yafaka isicwebezelisi se-Anglo-Saxon (isiNgisi Esidala) embhalweni wesiLatini, yakhipha elinye lamakhophi okuqala esiNgisi Esidala amaVangeli.
AmaVangeli aseLindisfarne akhonjiswa ngesitayela samaCeltic futhi ambozwa ngosilika bezinhlamvu ocolekile owenziwe yindlamu. Lokhu, noma kunjalo, kwalahleka ngenkathi amaViking ehlasela ngo-793 ediliza isigodlo, abulala umphakathi, futhi aphoqa izindela ukuba zibaleke (zihamba nesidumbu sikaSanta Cuthbert, manje esingcwatshwe eDurham Cathedral).
AmaVangeli aseLindisfarne manje aseMtatsheni Wezincwadi waseBrithani eLondon, okucasule kakhulu abanye baseNorthumbrian.
Isigodlo sabuyiselwa kabusha ngezikhathi zikaNorman njengendlu yezindela yaseBenedictine futhi saqhubeka kwaze kwaba sekucindezelweni kwayo ngo-1536 ngaphansi kukaHenry VIII. Manje sekuyincithakalo ekunakekelweni kweNgcebo YesiNgisi, ebuye ibe nesikhungo sabavakashi esiseduze. Isonto lesifunda esingumakhelwane lisasebenza.
Muva nje iLindisfarne isiphenduke isikhungo sokuvuselelwa kobuKrestu bamaCelt enyakatho neNgilandi, umfundisi webandla akayena umbhali owaziwayo wezincwadi nemikhuleko yobuKrestu yamaCelt. ILindisfarne isiphenduke isikhungo esidumile somhlalaphansi kanye nendawo yokuvakasha.
ILindisfarne ngokuyinhloko ibiwumphakathi wabadobi iminyaka eminingi, kepha ezokuvakasha zakhula kancane kulo lonke ikhulu lama-20, futhi manje sekuyindawo ethandwa kakhulu. Ngokuhlala esiqhingini ngenkathi umoya ungaphandle (isimo sezulu sivuma) isivakashi esingewona umhlali singathola lesi siqhingi ngokuzola okukhulu kwengqondo, njengoba izivakashi eziningi zihamba lapho amagagasi ephakama futhi.
Kungenzeka, isimo sezulu kanye namagagasi kuvumela, ukuhamba emanzini aphansi unqamula izihlabathi kulandela ulayini owela owaziwa kangcono njengeCamino de los Peregrinos futhi kumakwe ngemiyalezo, futhi kunamabhokisi okukhosela labo abangakuvumelanga ukuthi iwele sekwephuze kakhulu .
Indaba ithi iLindisfarne ibinemboni enkulu yamatshe okubasa futhi ama-kilns aphakathi kwezinkimbinkimbi kakhulu eNorthumberland. Kusekhona izinsalela zezinsika lapho amalahle angeniswa khona kanye nomcako othunyelwa kwamanye amazwe eduze naphansi kwamawa.
