St. Colomba Lands On Iona
St. Colomba arrived at Iona, a small island off the west coast of Mull in 563 A.D. At that time it was part of Dál Riata, a country that encompassed eastern Ireland, the islands, and coast of what is now Scotland. St. Columba came with a group of monks, and they set up a monastery, and then got into converting the Picts to Christianity. St. Columba traveled across Scotland and his monastery became a center of early Christianity in Britain. It is believed that the Book of Kells was written at Iona, making this tiny island even more significant.
