Image of the Day on the Feast of St John the Apostle & Evangelist. This is the Lindisfarne Gospel Book open at the initial words (“incipit page”) of St John’s Gospel, “In the beginning was the Word”, read at many Christmas services. Opposite is St John’s “carpet page”. The Book, written “in honour of God and St Cuthbert” dates from the early 8th century and was created on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
