We have been learning about our Catholic Faith Heritage and different Christian Pilgrimage sites across Scotland.<\/p>\n

St. Columba was a very interesting Saint who worked on an Scottish island called Iona. He came from Ireland with 12 followers and helped to spread Christianity in Scotland. He and his monks were scribes who created a very beautiful and famous manuscript called the Book of Kells. It contains the 4 Gospels and is ornately and painstakingly decorated.<\/p>\n

Mrs McLean also shared some photographs of her visit to Iona this year. We saw the beautiful Abbey that has been built where Columba’s monastery used to stand. We hope to visit Iona one day…<\/p>\n
