EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary blend of religious and cultural influences from the 10th century. The image captures an Anglo-Scandinavian cross, originating from Middleton Church in Yorkshire. This remarkable artifact portrays a Scandinavian warrior laid out in a pagan Viking burial, juxtaposed against the face of a Christian cross. The intricate details on this cross highlight the fascinating coexistence of two contrasting belief systems during that era. The warrior is depicted with weapons, symbolizing his valor and strength in battle. It serves as a poignant reminder of the violent nature of Viking culture. However, what truly sets this piece apart is its fusion with Christianity. Placing such a pagan burial scene onto the face of a Christian cross signifies the gradual conversion and assimilation of Norse people into Christianity during this period. The location itself adds to the historical significance of this artifact, being found within Middleton Church in Yorkshire County. Its discovery not only sheds light on medieval religious practices but also provides valuable insights into Anglo-Scandinavian interactions within England. As we gaze upon this vibrant color print by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we are transported back to an era where religion, war, and death intertwined to shape societies and cultures across Europe. This photograph stands as both an object d'art and testament to our rich heritage - reminding us how history continues to influence our present-day beliefs and traditions.
