Baptism Hilda Northumbria Persecution Paulinus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hilda carrying her Fathers Sword and Shield" captures a poignant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Hilda, a remarkable figure from Northumbria's past. In this scene, Hilda is depicted as she carries her father's sword and shield with great determination. The image exudes strength and resilience as she embraces her family legacy amidst times of persecution. It serves as a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit of those who faced adversity during that era. The engraving was originally commissioned for Chatterbox magazine in 1887, making it even more significant. Its inclusion in such a widely read publication speaks to its ability to captivate audiences across generations. Hilda herself was no ordinary woman; she became known as Saint Hilda later on due to her devout faith and contributions to Christianity. Her story intertwines with that of Paulinus, another prominent figure from Northumbrian history associated with the baptism of King Edwin. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the courage and determination embodied by Hilda. This artwork not only celebrates familial bonds but also pays homage to the rich heritage of Northumbria while reminding us of the enduring power found within one's lineage and beliefs.
