Iona – Island Steeped in Centuries of Prayer
Iona has been a spiritual centre for Scotland since the time of Saint Columba, who founded the first monastic community on the island in 563. Perhaps it is the centuries of prayer in a beautifully rugged landscape – a tranquil environment which also seems to honour God with its ancient rocks, sandy beaches, fresh air and glorious sunsets – which draws so many back regularly for spiritual refreshment. Or perhaps it is also the love felt as people gather for prayer around the island.
