Celtic Saints
Saint Columba
An appealing introductory series in small format, with colorful, attractive covers and easy-to-read texts illustrated with Celtic symbols. These accounts of the lives and writings of four Celtic saints each contain a brief introduction giving historical and ecclesiastical background followed by selections from the original sources.
Founder of the Abbey of Iona, Columba sailed from Ireland in the 6th century to bring Christianity to the remote and hostile lands of the Picts. Born 30 years after Columba's death, Adamnan, who became the 9th Abbot of Iona, gathered the extraordinary legends kept in memory of "faithful men who knew", and recorded them in his famous Life of St. Columba. Selections from these glorious prophecies and mystical epiphanies are presented here, together with the final moving description of Columba's death.
