  • Hard to put into words but this place has mesmerised me for years along with St. Columbas’story. I had the opportunity to go and this felt like a once in a lifetime visit that did not disappoint. Truly memorable and enlightening. Whatever your faith or creed I’m positive everyone will get something out of visiting. So this is what I learnt about Iona.
    I also went to where it all started, Jerusalem and hope you enjoy these films too from Jerusalem. Paul

    Thanks so much for sharing! I join you as fellow pilgrim. It is a lovely place to work for a couple of months voluntarily, for the general reasons as you say, Christian history. I would describe the working atmosphere as "fun, and happy". Unforgettable for the best possible reasons

    Lovely area for sure! Quite the history with those finds! Give me a little place there and the provisions I need and I think I could make that place home. Looks like there could be some very quiet and peaceful places found around! Thanks for sharing...Bruce and Otis

      Hi Bruce and Otis! It’s an incredible place with a really special feeling. There are a few places there that if you got the chance to buy! But absolutely was on my bucket list and there will be another film from here but it will be the pop film, just full of views only! Hope all well Paul

    Thank you for that. I went to Iona because I am often called IONA. People can't pronounce my name, ILONA, and I joke that I am not a Scottish island. I call it my island. 😆

      Thank you Martin! It’s the stories too that go with it that really make it. If you keep an eye on the channel I went back a few days later with the sun out and a different mindset and the place became this amazing jewel. Stunning!

    Thank you for sharing your trip Paul. It was lovely to see. Iona is 1st on my pilgrimage list when I get back home to Britain this year, after living in Australia for nearly 30 years. God bless.

    Great presentation of the view, history, and especially the feel of Iona. Is there any evidence of the destruction brought about by the Vikings remaining?

      @pauljones401  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Mark thank you! I was nervous putting in some vocals this way for the first time so much appreciated. I quietly did listen to the tours going through and Vikings were not mentioned. The narrative at present is definitely focused on the here and now. Paul

  • @Fernandwinnie

    The Scots from Ireland didn’t invade, they settled here, eventually merging with the indigenous Picts.
    But the Vikings did invade Iona and slaughtered many of the monks.

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Год назад

      It was from a history book not Wikipedia that I got that from. Always keen to learn and great place to visit for sure. The book a bit generalised with hindsight and not specific to Iona but still made my year visiting

    It was actually 3000 souls who perished during the skirmish re: the manuscripts. He vowed to win 3001 souls to YAH’USHA HA’MASHIACH. THE British Isles is where the TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FLOURISHED after the death and resurrection of YAH’USHA, NOT Rome. The EARLY CHRISTIANS were there long BEFORE the Romans.

    • @pauljones401
      @pauljones401  Месяц назад

      Now the figure of souls I actually got from a textbook not Google but….. it was many souls. Having traveled to Jerusalem 3 times what is very clear is this. The island does feel way older as a Christian place of worship than anywhere I’ve ever been. It’s feels literally in the island itself. If you get the chance to visit I hope you can experience this too.
