St Columba came over to Scotland from Ireland in 563 AD to found a monastery on Iona. We have been hearing his life story as recorded in a book written 100 years after his death by another monk Aiden. Working in pairs to create large collages of different points in his life helped us tell his story. We also wrote a story from the life of Columba in the style of an illuminated manusscript like the book of Kells. Here are some of the stories.<\/p>\n

Columba and the Loch Ness Monster<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/span>
\nOne night when Columba and the other monks were travelling over Loch Ness they heard wailing which often meant a death.<\/em><\/span> <\/span> When they got to the other side there was a funeral was tacking place.
\nWhen Columba asked what had happened a young man replied <\/em><\/span>
\n\u201cMy dad was killed by the monster.\u201d Columba cave him a suspicious look. He turned to Luna and said <\/em><\/span>
\n\u201cSwim over to the other side and get me that boat!\u201d
\nLuna slipped off his sandals and took off his cloak and plunged into the water. He was about half way across when he saw the monster.
\nJust as it went for him Columba ran into the water and made the sign of the cross. He forced it to l<\/em><\/span>eave. The monster never <\/em><\/span>entered the waters again.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Eithnes Story<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span> <\/span>One night an old man was dying in a monastery and said Eithne, your son will be a great Christian and visit my grave. That night an angel came to visit Eithne with a beautiful cloak full of flowers. The angel said it\u2019s not yours to keep. Eithne was crying because she couldn\u2019t keep the cloak.\u00a0 Then she gave birth to Columba, who was special.
\nEithne gave Columba to the monks for God and so she can go to heaven. She could only visit him1 time a month, but still loved him. <\/em><\/span> <\/span>
\nColumba heard some boys outside shouting Colm Cille, churchy Colm. Columba got really angry and chased them down to the river.\u00a0 But he grew up to be a very famous Christian.<\/p>\n
