Anglo-Saxon Runes - The Dream of the Rood

Описание к видео Anglo-Saxon Runes - The Dream of the Rood

The Ruthwell Cross is an Anglo-Saxon cross carved in the 7th century. It is marked with scenes from the Bible as well as pagan style engravings. In Germanic Runes a version of the poem ''the dream of the rood' is written. It is told from the perspective of a tree, made into the cross on which Christ was crucified. This poem parallels the story of a pagan Anglo Saxon God who was hung from a sacred tree in sacrifice. The writing is the oldest example of the English language. The cross is kept in a church in Ruthwell near Dumfries in Scotland.
