Iona (Scottish Gaelic: Ì Chaluim Chille) is a small island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland. It was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for four centuries and is today renowned for its tranquility and natural beauty. It is a popular tourist destination and a place for retreats. Its modern Gaelic name means "Iona of (Saint) Columba" (formerly anglicised "Icolmkill").
The Hebrides have been occupied by the speakers of several languages since the Iron Age, and as a result many of the names of these islands have more than one possible meaning. Nonetheless few, if any, can have accumulated so many different names over the centuries as the island now known in English as "Iona".
The earliest forms of the name enabled place-name scholar William J. Watson to show that the name originally meant something like "yew-place". The element Ivo-, denoting "yew", occurs in Ogham inscriptions (Iva-cattos [genitive], Iva-geni [genitive]) and in Gaulish names (Ivo-rix, Ivo-magus) and may form the basis of early Gaelic names like Eogan (ogham: Ivo-genos). It is possible that the name is related to the mythological figure, Fer hÍ mac Eogabail, foster-son of Manannan, the forename meaning "man of the yew".
Marin Sorescu (Romanian pronunciation: [maˈrin soˈresku]; 29 February 1936 - 8 December 1996) was a Romanian poet, playwright, and novelist.
Marin Sorescu was a poet, playwright, prose writer, essayist and translator. His works were translated into more than 20 countries, and the total number of his books that were published abroad rises up to 60 books. He has also been known for his painting, and he opened many art exhibits in Romania and abroad. He occupied the position of Minister of Culture within the Nicolae Văcăroiu Cabinet, without being a member of any political party, after the Romanian revolution of 1989 (from 25 November 1993 to 5 May 1995).
Born to a family of farmworkers in Bulzești, Dolj County, Sorescu graduated from the primary school in his home village. After that he went to the Buzesti Brothers High School in Craiova, after which he was transferred to the Predeal Military School. His final education was at the University of Iaşi, where, in 1960, he graduated with a degree in modern languages. His first book, a collection of parodies in 1964 entitled Singur printre poeţi ("Alone Among Poets"), was widely discussed. He himself called them "sarcastic and awkward". Ten volumes of poetry and prose followed, having a very rapid ascension in the world of literary, as a poet, novelist, playwright, essayist. He grew so popular that his readings were held in football stadiums. In 1971, he was a resident of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.

Most people staying on Mull make the journey over to Iona at some point during their stay and this little video shows you a little of what there is to see. The Isle of Iona plays an important role in the history of christianity. Iona Abbey can be visited and tickets are bought on the island. There are some amazing beaches on Iona and we look at a few of these, as well as Dun I the island's highest point. We hope this video is useful for anyone interested in things to do on Iona.
Just across from Mull, lies the Isle of Iona, once called Innis nan Dhruidhanean, the Isle of the Druids. There is a crumbling ruin of an old Mary Chapel behind the great Abbey. It is said that on the Isle of Iona, the veil between earth and heaven are so thin that pilgrims here can easily access spiritual dimensions. http://www.scottishgraillegacy.com/ Join me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Scottish-Grail-Legacy-571145636298080/ Join me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deborahmclernon/
Drama Iona de Marin Sorescu are la origine cunoscutul mit biblic al lui Iona, fiul lui Amitai. Iona este insarcinat sa propavaduiasaca cuvantul Domnului in cetatea Ninive, caci pacatele omenirii ajunsesera pana la cer. Iona primeste misiunea, dar se razgandeste si se ascunde pe o corabie cu care fuge la Tarsis. Dumnezeu il pedepseste pentru nesupunere trimitand un vant puternic care provoaca o furtuna pe mare. Corabierii banuiesc faptul ca Iona este cel care a atras mania cereasca, asa il arunca in valuri. Din porunca divina, Iona este inghitit de un monstru marin si dupa trei zile si trei nopti petrecute in burta pestelui in pocainta, "Domnul a poruncit pestelui, iar pestele a varsat pe Iona pe uscat ".

In August 2016, I took a spontaneous trip to Europe with my best friend Autumn. We hit Ireland, Scotland and England. You are watching the Scotland vlog. Scotland was probably my favorite country just because of the weather(if you are from Texas then you can relate). We got to stay a night on the Isle of Iona and spend the rest of our time in Edinburgh. My favorite was the Isle of Iona because it was away from the city and far from much civilization. We had no access to internet nor did we have a roof over our heads because we camped under a tent. Yes, it started raining and I was freezing half the night. Would I do it again? No. Do I miss it? Yes. It was probably a pretty memorable experience. Especially because of the cows and sheep that kept us up all night and I killed a spider in ...

You were the very first
Before the world began
And the oceans rose
And the rivers ran
And the water flowed
Before the mountains and hills
Were set in place
Before stars in the sky
And the human race
You were there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light
My light
You are the voice of truth
That is just and right
A shield to the faithful
A sword for the fight
A path for the wise
And those who desire You
More than silver or gold
Will find understanding
Within the soul
For You are there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light
