The Iona Abbey Community legacy began in 563 AD with the arrival of the Irish St. Columba (ColmCille) to the tiny island of the Western Hebrides in Scotland.  Here the historic illuminated Gospel manuscript, the Book of Kells, was written before being moved to the town of Kells, Ireland to protect the masterpiece from Viking invaders. The Abbey center continues to thrive as a place of renewal and inspiration for those seeking a closer relationship with nature with, and in service to the divine, and in service to social justice issues around the globe.
