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 weather worn but it is still possible to discern its great beauty and unusual features. The scenes depicted in the panels of the cross are from the Old and New Testaments.
