EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Piscina of Furness Abbey - A Glimpse into Medieval England's Monastic Past 2. Description: This evocative image showcases the intricately carved Piscina, a sacred basin used for the preparation and washing of the Eucharistic elements, located within the ruins of Furness Abbey in Cumbria, England. Founded in 1123 by Stephen, Count of Blois, this Cistercian monastery flourished during the 12th and 13th centuries. 3. Background: Stephen, a Norman nobleman, established Furness Abbey as a means to atone for his role in the murder of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. The monastery was extended over the centuries, with the present ruins primarily dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. 4. Architectural Significance: The Norman and Cistercian architectural influences are evident in the arches and archways that frame the Piscina. The Cistercian order, known for its austere and functional design, emphasized the importance of communal prayer and self-sufficiency. The Piscina, with its intricate carvings and ornate details, is a testament to the monks' dedication to their faith and their artistic abilities. 5. Historical Context: Furness Abbey was an important center of learning and spiritual growth during the Middle Ages. Monks from Furness Abbey played a significant role in the dissemination of knowledge, contributing to the development of the University of Oxford and the translation of Latin texts into Old English. The ruins of the abbey now stand as a reminder of England's rich monastic heritage and the enduring influence of the Cistercian order. 6. Conclusion: This image of the Piscina at Furness Abbey offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the history and significance of this remarkable Cistercian monastery. The intricate carvings and the sense of history that emanates from the ruins serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
