Celebration Design - We Recommend a Viking Crafted Up Helly Aa Celebration
The monks, cradled properly, because they thought, in the enjoy and peace of God, ended what they were doing and peered curiously at these strange craft. They found fierce looking men disgorging from the ships, brute-men in mail byrnies and helms, with swords and axes. They didn't stop, but scaled the cliffs with a dreadful purpose and created straight for the poor, peace-loving monks.
Unarmed and rather unused to martial methods, they went in stress, in this manner and that, seeking to save the valuable relics and pieces of the monastery. What chance had they? The Vikings were curved on an orgy of eliminating and looting.
Their swords pierced the monks' skin, while these awful war-axes parted minds from figures and in some instances sliced through from the throat to the middle, creating half-men of people who had when been God fearing individual beings.
Nothing was sacred to these savage men. They dug up altars, trampled on invaluable relics, desecrated the tomb of St. Cuthbert, the founder of the monastery in 635. They set hard, uncaring hands on the beautiful Lindisfarne Gospels, prepared in equally Latin and Old British, telling the stories of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Many monks were killed, while the others were put in organizations and led to the ships as slaves. Yet others were removed naked and chased to the shore wherever several drowned, whilst suffering the elementary insults of those marauders. Some existed, but, went back to the monastery, and renewed it.
