EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the historic moment as Saint Boniface, also known as Wynfryth of Crediton, bids farewell to England and embarks on his missionary journey to Germany, acting on behalf of Pope Gregory II in 754 AD. The young saint, dressed in monastic robes and wearing a halo, gazes out at the sea with a determined expression, carrying a cross as a symbol of his faith and mission. The scene is set against the backdrop of a tranquil English harbor, with a small boat anchored nearby, ready to carry Saint Boniface across the waters to the Continent. The sun casts a warm glow over the water, creating a serene atmosphere that belies the historic significance of this moment. Saint Boniface was a pivotal figure in the spread of Christianity in Germany, and his journey marked the beginning of a new chapter in the religious and cultural history of Europe. Pope Gregory II sent him to Germany to convert the Germanic people to Christianity and establish monasteries, and Boniface's efforts were successful in spreading the faith throughout the region. This image captures the sense of anticipation and determination that must have filled Saint Boniface as he prepared to leave his homeland and undertake this important mission. With the blessings of the Pope and the support of the English people, he set sail, carrying the light of Christianity to the Germanic lands and leaving a lasting impact on European history.
