Saint Columba, 521 - 597. Irish abbot and missionary Evangelist. The day before he died Columba feeling tired, sat down to rest beside a cross fixed into a millstone. Whilst there, a passing horse drew near to him, laid his head on the saints breast and wailed loudly, Columba realised that the wise horse knew that he, Columa, was close to death.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the life of Saint Columba, the Irish abbot and missionary Evangelist. In this image, taken from The Book of Saints and Heroes published in 1912, we see Columba seated beside a cross fixed into a millstone. Feeling tired on the day before his death, he sought solace and rest in this peaceful spot. As fate would have it, a passing horse approached him and laid its head gently on the saint's breast. The horse wailed loudly, as if mourning or sensing something profound. It was clear to Columba that this wise creature understood his imminent departure from this world. The story behind this photograph is steeped in myth and legend surrounding Saint Columba's extraordinary connection with nature. Known as an apostle of the Picts during Scotland's sixth century, he left an indelible mark through his missionary work. This archival image serves as a testament to Saint Columba's spiritual journey and unwavering devotion to his faith. It offers us a glimpse into history while also reminding us of the power of belief and our interconnectedness with all living beings. Hilary Morgan has beautifully captured not just an illustration but also the essence of an old religious man whose legacy continues to inspire generations even today.
