The decorated pages in the Lindisfarne Gospels
Each of the four gospels is introduced by a picture of the saint, followed by a page of decoration based on the form of a cross - this is known as a cross-carpet page - and then a major initial beginning a page of decorated text.

There is also an introductory cross-carpet page and a major initial page at the beginning of the whole manuscript, and another decorated initial page to mark the beginning
of the Christmas Gospel in Matthew.
