Pastor Laura's pilgrimage to Iona was a profound and transformative journey. The journey was not simply travel, but truly a spiritual pilgrimage. Nestled in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, Iona is revered for its historical and spiritual significance, drawing pilgrims seeking solace, enlightenment, and connection with the Divine.

From the moment Pastor Laura set foot on the island, a sense of sacredness enveloped her. The rugged landscape, surrounded by the restless sea, seemed to whisper tales of centuries past. The abbey stands as a testament to the island’s role as a cradle of Christianity in Scotland, founded by Saint Columba in the 6th century. As she wandered through the abbey’s weathered stones and moss-covered walls, a deep felt of reverence for the generations of pilgrims who had come before us, seeking spiritual renewal in this hallowed place.

The community on Iona, both residents and fellow pilgrims, also enriched my journey. Whether sharing meals in the cozy warmth of the St. Columba Hotel or attending services in the abbey’s chapel, Pastor Laura felt a sense of kinship with others who, like her, were on a quest for deeper spiritual meaning.
