EDITORS COMMENTS
Augustine of Canterbury, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, is depicted in this evocative image, holding a crucifix and dressed in the vestments of a Benedictine prior and a mitre signifying his ecclesiastical authority. Born in Italy around 540 AD, Augustine was a devout Christian monk who, under the orders of Pope Gregory the Great, embarked on a mission to evangelize the English people in 597 AD. The historical scene unfolds in Rome, where Augustine and a group of monks were preparing for their journey to the English Isles. Augustine is shown with a determined expression, reflecting the significant responsibility that lay before him as the leader of the mission. The gospel, symbolizing the message of Christianity, is at his side, emphasizing the importance of spreading the word of God. Augustine's journey to England marked a pivotal moment in the history of Christianity, as it laid the foundation for the establishment of the Church in England. His missionary efforts were successful, and he was later consecrated as the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 604 AD. This image captures the essence of Augustine's pivotal role in the spread of Christianity in England and his dedication to his religious calling. The crucifix, a powerful symbol of faith, underscores Augustine's commitment to his evangelistic mission, while the mitre and Benedictine vestments signify his position as a clergyman and leader in the Church. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Christianity and the pivotal role played by Augustine in its spread to the English people.
