EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the Ruins of Iona Cathedral and Orans Chapel, located on the shores of Iona Abbey on the southwest coast of Mull, Scotland. The ruins date back to the 1910s and tell the rich history of this sacred site, which holds deep significance in both Scottish and Christian traditions. In 563 AD, St. Columba, an Irish monk, is said to have landed on the shores of Iona, bringing with him the message of Christianity. He established a monastery and a base for his evangelism, which would go on to become a center of learning and spirituality for centuries to come. The ruins of the cathedral and Orans Chapel stand as testament to the enduring legacy of St. Columba and the monastic community that flourished here. The Orans Chapel, also known as the Chapel of the Saint's Graves, is a small, rectangular building located to the north of the cathedral. It is believed to have been built in the 12th or 13th century and was used as a burial place for the abbots of Iona. The name "Orans" comes from the Latin word for "praying," as the chapel is adorned with intricate carvings of figures in prayer. The Ruins of Iona Cathedral and Orans Chapel are a poignant reminder of the island's storied past and the enduring power of faith and spirituality. The craggy shores, rugged cliffs, and tranquil waters of Iona create a breathtaking backdrop for these historic ruins, making them a must-see destination for visitors to Scotland and those with a deep appreciation for history and spirituality.
