Iona 1400 Years of Christian Influence On Sacred Isle
Iona in Scotland, known as the Sacred Isle, became a center for Celtic Christianity after Columba landed with 12 followers in 563. Monastic life emphasized labor and learning, producing churches and monasteries, while Viking attacks and later reforms shifted its religious role until a long Protestant era began in 1561.
