The cross is remarkable! The Abby is beautiful and just incredible. I would never get to see locations like this, so I am grateful for your channel. You do such a wonderful job relating the history. Thank you so much!
Its a visit I want to make when we stay at Oban in September, so I really enjoyed this video. I loved the crosses and the information that went them and inside the Abbey was mind blowing, given when it was built and the things that have happened there over the centuries. The grave slabs were so interesting and good to see they were being preserved, away from the elements now. I look forward to seeing all this myself in person, cheers Alan
A long time ago, I tried to do a tapestry of the front of Iona Abbey and the two crosses! What a difficult thing it was to do. In the end, I made my own carving of the crosses, and ended up cross eyed trying to do the absolutely wonderful carving on them! I'd visited Iona many years ago, and found the tranquil peace of the place, out of this world! Thankyou both for the wee video, as you have found the magic and recreated it. I hope that you return soon, and make a longer video or us! I realise that it must be difficult filming, when so many tourists are milling about in the summer months, but I know that you'd do it justice.
i found that wee detail out in derry when i went to the chapels never learned it here my friends took me not even knowing i dont think, maybe one knew when they took me
The oak leaf in christianity is a symbol of strength and endurance amongst many other attributes. Some believe the christ's cross was made of oak too. But St Columba apparently was a fan of oak trees. Derry folk wear an oak tree on his feast day, as he is the patron saint of Derry.
