"Nobody asked the Island if she wanted to be Holy"

Jay Hulme, goes in search of a faith that is ‘beautiful and holy and wild’ in a poetic pilgrimage to Northumbria. He’s long been inspired by the natural world and the saints of the north-east of England. In this reflection he visits the sites that gave breath to a unique and almost forgotten spirituality. On the Holy Island of Lindisfarne he finds wonder in creation and in the new life of spring; the hope of the Resurrection celebrated at Easter. And at Durham Cathedral he stands in awe at the human endeavour that created such magnificence in glass, wood and stone.
