Description
The miracle of St Cuthbert's incorrupt corpse has been a subject of fascination for centuries. For over 1,300 years, pilgrims and monks have been drawn to his remains, with the coffin being opened six times since his death. This unique history is brought together in a single volume, providing insight into the life of Cuthbert from his death to the present day. The book explores the mystery surrounding Cuthbert's corpse, including the moment when monks first discovered him to be incorrupt, and the most recent exhumation of his relics in 1899. It also delves into the significance of this phenomenon in Christian traditions, tracing varieties of hope, faith, and experience down the centuries. By examining these events, David Willem sheds light on a fascinating aspect of history that continues to captivate us today.
