Celtic
Cross of St. Patrick and Columba Kells
Columba founded a monastic settlement in Iona, an island off the coast
of Scotland in 561. It was plundered repeatedly by Vikings and in 806
the surviving monks moved to kells. It was there that Ireland's best collection
of High Crosses was assembled. The Cross of Kells, like the other crosses,
is weatherworn but it is still possible to discern its great beauty and
unusal features.
The scenes depicted in the panels of the cross are from the Old and New
Testaments.
