“This image is from the Book of Cerne, an ancient Celtic Christian manuscript that contains Gospel extracts, Psalms, hymns, prayers, and the apocryphal tale of the ‘Harrowing of Hell.’
Originally used for personal prayers and devotions, this text reflects the rich spiritual heritage of its time.
In this illustration, we see the opening of the Gospel of Luke, accompanied by a depiction of Luke himself alongside his symbolic representation, the Ox.”
