- IN SEARCH OF SAINT COLUMBA
Friday June 9th is the Feast day of one of the major apostles of Christianity in Scotland - St Columba.
From his early life in Ireland to his decision to leave his homeland and found a monastic community on the Scottish Island of Iona, he changed the landscape of our nation and world forever. Watch his inspiring story here as we go in search for Saint Columba.
Beautiful! St. Columba heart was used by God to bring many to.know Him. Thanks be to.God for saving Columba from his hurting and turned it all to so much goodness. I love Ireland, Scotland, and now have a deeper knowing why. Substance for a love forva country I have no heritary bind to, but the soiritumual bond is undeniable. One day, I pray to choose my Iona stone. To see Columbas Cektic cross. To see what he saw and maybe feel a bit of what he felt. May the soirit if Columba continue to perpetuate God's love on earth.
Call me crazy, but when visiting Iona, 9 years ago, with my dog, completely by accident, as I was hiking in the area, St Columba did something amazing that stroke me.
He started by using my dog who suddenly acted strangely when we were on our way to the ferry as she refused to go on but wanted me to go back to the abbey, and pulled me back toward it, to the point I had to promise her we would return the day after...
And the day after St Columba was waiting for me with a tiny miracle and a very nice and deep lesson about faith.
That was spectacular as I was very far from Church at that time, and when visiting Iona, thought Saint Colomba was some kind of nice medieval mythical legendary fary tale.
I am French and thought I didn't know anything about St Colomba at all.
When back in Paris, I actually realized that I knew the island competition story as my sister's godfather's wife was a O'Neill, but I was not aware that his ancestor was a saint, and even less this very saint who I thought was some kind of legendary fary tale until he spectacularly showed up in my life using my dog for that...
Last June 9th he acted again in my life. I didn't realize it until the evening a friend texted me from nowhere "today is the feast of St Columba". 😉
Sadly now that my wonderful dog is dying. I pray St Columba either for a miracle, either for her to pass quietly and to go to Heaven where she obviously belongs.
My family, the Freels in English, Ó Firghil in Irish, are descendants of his brother Eoghan..
Are your people from Donegal?
May the Cross of Christianity spread across the world 🌍 Amen 🙏🏻 Brother
This Saint is my ancestor. He is an O'Neill, from my grandfather's tribe in Donegal. Saint was born on our ancestral land.
Just visited Iona with a pilgrimage from St Columba's RC Church in Glasgow. This wonderful film has filled in all the gaps on my knowledge, and made me even more keen to return to Iona asap.!! Thankyou very much for this beautiful film. Saint Columba, please pray for us, and for Iona . God bless you, Alice
"To every Cow belongs her calf, to every book belongs it's copy" And so began the War of the Book (AD 561) with Finnian, and the flight of Columba to Iona.
We visited Iona Island and the beautiful museum! So beautiful and totally inspiring! Well worth the efforts to visit Iona🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video. I am studying the history of Irish monasticism in Christopher Dawson's works and researching new information. Your channel is very useful. God bless you.
My own study of Celtic monasticism, and particularly of St. Columba (i.e. Columcille) over 20 years ago, was what God used to eventually cause me to leave Protestantism, and become Eastern Orthodox. (There was quite a strong connection between Orthodoxy and Celtic Christianity during the time of Columba, since the schism between East and West wasn't until 1054 AD.
Great Saint.☘🇮🇪🕊
the irish gaelic monastic traditions a fantastic addition to humanity
Fantastic video
History of Great Britain made me cry
Love this! Bravo!
messenger to the thyatira church age
these films are watered down versions he was liken unto a prophet he trained others in the scriptures and they went out in europe redistributing bibles that were distroyed by vikings read his life life story, he was not catholic but a Celtic Christian, ,he was canonized nor was patrick
Once again that antichrist spirit, trying to change history to their benefit. The messenger to this age designated Columba the prophet of the Thyatira age. I'm speculating the war was started because that nicolaitan spirit which Jesus hated was florishing and Columba blasted it! Of course just like the others before and after him, they went right back and denominated it. Christs true church will always be persecuted, Jesus said, because I am hated, you will be hated in my name. God Bless
Yes. And Many Christian did not Understand the transition of Christianity.

Colm Cille, grandson of Niall-Naoi-Giallach, is my direct ancestor through the line of Niallghus, Colm's grandson. I have to say though that the original Celtic Church had little or no affiliation with Rome nor with its liturgy, although the later Chalean Church did. The early Celtic Church was similar to the early Church of Jerusalem and Judea as recorded in the Book of Acts. Also Colm was certainly NOT ecumenical and would never have supported its consequent liberalism .
Hail Glorious Roman Catholic Saints And Martyrs Of Éireann.☘🇮🇪🕊
Any info on st Drostan? If his relics are anywhere, I’d love to visit, how easy is it to reach Iona?
You’ll find Celtic Christianity was here & in Ireland long before St Augustine brought his Roman Catholicism version of Christianity. the Roman version wasn’t fully accepted until after the Synod of Whitby. Even then Celtic Christianity was still going until the 10th century because as the Pope said of the time - The “Irish Gael’s” were too stubborn.
St Patrick was Roman Catholic. The Roman Empire fell, plunging Europe into the dark ages. Due to its isolation, Catholicism in Ireland flourished while cut off from the rest of the Church. The dispute was over the timing of Easter. St Augustine died when the Vandals attacked Hippo, where he was Bishop, but it was the same religion. Consider the times, the situation that existed at the beginning of the dark ages, and the distance between Ireland and Rome.
@@trishkearney7758 ..if I'm not mistaken,didn't the Irish church allow marriage n divorce?...I have read an interesting history of St. Froidolin,and his wife who came to Bad Saccingen in Germany to set up a Monastry n Nunner y..he is the Patron Saint of the Almanic Germans today..
@@trishkearney7758 He is referring to a different Saint Augustine, the one who evangelized the Anglo-Saxons of the South of England (Iona Monks converted the Northern Anglo-Saxons). The North African Saint Augustine of Confessions never set foot in Northern Europe. I assume the Catholic Church-as it later became- wasn't the same Church or Christianity practiced by our ancestors in Donegal or in the Islands of Scotland. It is now said our Church was closer to Orthodoxy and the Desert Fathers were esteemed.
@@trishkearney7758 At the time of Columbo the Irish Church did not accept Rome as their overlord in any way they allowed their priests to marry and had other practices and doctrines different from Rome. St Patrick did bring Christianity to Ireland but the Irish Church evolved independent of Rome.
@@rapier1954 True! In fact, the Celtic Church had FAR more in common with the Eastern Orthodox Church than it did with Rome, at the time.
Yeeeeeeeeet
I'm a direct descendant
Did my ears deceive me but did you say Lock Ness?
Yes, I'm a poor excuse for a scotsman, burn me at stake
what is the map used at 1:57?
That is a sweeping statement regarding the imposition of the cross over the sun disc of the picts. The church at that time was not Roman, but British in its nature and had precedence over the church of Rome until the Synod of Whitby in 664. (ie Raging Celts "firmly established" period, immediately followed by a period of overt aggression towards the Celtic or British church). The British Church and its custom of the transverse tonsure was not lost in Scotland until the 11th or 12th century as there was great resistance to the Roman church here. So possibly it is just just another use of 21st century lenses on a non-roman cross. Or should we say it - a British Christian Cross.
Still, truth seems to be conjecture repeated often enough these days.
Aaln1 Aaln1 There was 1 Church much in the same way there are several churches or rites under the umbrella of the Catholic Church to this day.
Aaln1 Aaln1 the term British is innacurate. As the English were evangelised from Europe and the Scots From the Irish. Previous to the Irish Celtic missionary push in the 600s some Romano british figures such as St Ninian in the 300s first brought the faith here, he was certainly Catholic in the traditional sense as well
@@SanctaFamiliaMedia .....Hi guys,i noticed you didn't mention the "Synod of Whitby" in 644?.....or don't seem to give any information on the "Library of Iona",or how Colomba and his followers,were able to ,interpret the writings ,and symbolism of the Druids?....How do i know there was a "Library",you may ask...Well in my "Personal studies",i discovered that Vellum,was one of the principal industries of that time in the land of the "Dal Riata" and beyond. There in lies the Proof,of Profilic Book Writing?.........Plus Great books carried away from the "Library of Alexandria" in Egypt were stored there for safety?.....I have seen the only 3 pages left remaining of many Dictionaries,interpreting the Writings of the Druids,which are available to Historians,at 'Trinity College Library' in Dublin,but frankly none of them know that,lol...They will say that the Druids only wrote in "Ogham".....Other discoveries have proved,that Iona was origionally called "Innis-nam Druidbneach",",Island of the Druids"in Gaelic,as was called in the time when the Druids had a "Great centre there"....Where exact copies of the "Brehon laws" were kept,where a Lawyer Druid,had to spend 20 yrs memorising them,in case they got lost,as well as other books,on astrology,Physics,mathematics,Kings Queens,etc,etc..It's a facinating study,and i'm trying to piece it together,which i fear i never will.....Nevertheless,keep uo the Good work,an nice Video!
@@SanctaFamiliaMedia No not strictly true...The Irish,or Celtic Catholic Church,had many "people friendly" practices which the "roman catholic" had not,like Divorce..and Monks,nuns could marry,usually to each other,but maybe not...It is only partly true to say that England was being evangelised by the roman catholic church?....As the whole of the north of England,was allready evangalised by the Irish Catholic church...King Ossiri,of Northumbria was in favour of the Irish Catholic version,but his wife had adopted the roman version...If King Ossiri at the "Synod of Whitby" had adopted the Irish Catholic version,possibly the rest of England would have followed suit,and Henry viii,and Church of England,would never have happened,as Henry could have gotten his divorse,lol.....Young people in Ireland today,are mostly in Ireland today,are mostly in favour of adopting,the Colomba Celtic church version,as i hope they will.
@@jangowan5742 We didn't mention The Synod of Whitby because it was not in the same times of Columba. It was important tho at the time to regularise practices in line with Universal Church! It is amazing history
Saint this, Saint that! Can't stick around to hear IF THEY EVER PREACH JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD WHO IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIED ON THE CROSS SO HE ALONE CAN FORGIVE YOUR SINS! ONLY JESUS SAVES, NOT 'SAINTS' NOT EVEN MARY CAN SAVE YOU!
Who said any saint, even Our Lady, is Our only Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ ? No saint, not even the Blessed Virgin Mary being the mother of God.
Though, "do ye not know not that the saints shall judge the world?"
@FormerMPSGT Are you even aware of the fact that the word "saint" is actually from God's Word? If you read it even a little, hopefully you can stop condemning others.
st columba is a mythical tale copied from two earlier st columbas from other counties with almost the same tale.
Sorry no British isles then
Beautiful video
Thank you!
