I decided to take excerpts of my Iona vacation videos and put them to a song about Iona (which is sung by an artist called "Iona"-lol,makes sense right?)
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys it. Iona is a really beautiful place:)
Braw wee place so it is .Did st Columba go here after he caused the deaths of hundreds of men in battle,Was this place like some kind of self banishment?
Ninian was born in Galloway, he didn't bring Christianity to Scotland, it was already here almost 2 centuies before Ninian. According to some historians King Donald I at the beginning of the 3rd century professed the Christian religion and used it to extirpate the superstition of the Druids. But he was at war with the Romans so Druidism wasn't extinguished. King Crathilinth at the end of the 3rd century as well, and his successor Fincormachus (312-350). I've been meaning to research it further.
The Gospel found sanctuary beyond the bounds of the Empire during Roman times and then Saints such as Ninian spread the Gospel until eventually Columba built the Church on Iona. From the 6th until the 12th century Iona was the "shining lamp" of Christendom.
Most historians have overlooked the fact that Iona was the headquarters of the one True Church during the Dark ages. Iona was the centre of Christendom, its where Christianity was preserved from Roman times when it had found sanctuary beyond the bounds of the Empire. The Church that Columba founded existed right upto the time of the Reformation. It was persecuted so it functioned mostly underground until the 16th century. Knox preached the same Gospel that emanated from Iona 1,000 years earlier.
Iona is a great band!

Slight error..

My name's Iona. Videos like this make me realise what a lucky dot I really have to be named after such a beautiful and spiritual place.
