"Ancient Iona Chapel"
12th Century St. Oran’s Chapel flanked by stone walls with the sea and Isle of Mull in the background, on the Isle of Iona, Scotland, UK. A popular legend tells how the early missionaries on Iona were working to build the first chapel on the island. Each day, the builders would make good progress, but by the next morning they were dismayed to discover that the building was in ruins. After some time, St Columba received a “divine intimation” that one of the monks must be buried alive in the foundations of the chapel order to secure the building. It is said the St. Oran volunteered for this.
