I had class tonight and my cat joined me for parts of it. Not sure as to whether she helped me tonight or just distracted me. Whoops. Kinda sorry. ⚓️ #iona

I love being at #iona class when I see our Dean’s cute little dog! It makes the day brighter than it already is! ⚓️ #Episcopal #DioceseofOlympia

7 Oct: Feast St Cú Chuimne (d. 747) of #Iona. Canonist & poet connected with the Collectio Canonum Hibernensis. Also credited with composing the hymn 'Cantemus in omni die' - one of earliest pieces of evidence for devotion to Mary in Irish church. #medievalsky www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/searchres...

2, 26 & 27 Oct: Feast Days of St Odrán/Oran of Lettir Odráin/ #Latteragh, Co. #Tipperary. Died on #Iona. Legend, he consented to being buried alive beneath a chapel that St Columba/Colmcille was attempting to build! In one version he resurrected and said there was no heaven or hell! #medievalsky

Well my first module was extended on the due day which is great because I was able to get some good feedback and also fix some things that weren’t quite up to par. #iona #Episcopal ⚓️

Reminder how partial recorded history can be: local enthusiasts bring up records of infrastructure and activities on a par with famous #Iona

Turned in my first module for #iona . TBH, I’m really happy with what I did, but I am looking forward to getting feedback because I think there’s some things that I could learn from. All in all, I enjoyed doing this module a lot. #dioceseofolympia ✌️⚓️

23 Sept: Feast St Adomnán/Eunan (d. 704). 9th abbot #Iona, Dál Riata, Scotland. From #Donegal. Wrote Vita/Life on cousin Columba (Prophecies, Miracles, Apparitions of Angels), 'Law of Innocents' (women/other non-combatants in wartime; fines for breaking) & 'On Holy Places' (pilgrimage). #medievalsky

I’ve mostly finished my chart for my first assignment. I do want to add more information, but just figuring out wording. I’ve got a few days though. ⚓️✌️ #iona #episcopal

2/2: sorry to the dean for allowing me to do this. Not my fault. Thanks! ✌️⚓️ #iona

So our module 1 assignment gives us space to do it in however format we want, giving that it will cover the content, and I am having fun using a grid format.
As a visual learner, I love grids. I love how they convey a message with being whatever works for me! ⚓️ #iona

Second zoom class for #iona is tonight. Hopefully tonight is a little easier in the sense that I am at least aware of how the class works. It will still be good and lots of work, but that is more manageable. ✌️⚓️ #Episcopalian #schooltime

16 Sept: St Laisrén mac Feradaig (d. 605), 3rd abbot #Iona. Oversaw building work at Durrow, Offaly. St Columba wept; vision Laisrén wearing monks out as they erected large building! Suddenly Laisrén stopped work/fed them; called him monachorum consulator “the consoler of the monks”! #medievalsky

Such a lovely #houseconcert last night in Al & Mercia Hobson’s gorgeous #ArtsBarn — photos & full report here: www.facebook.com/sarahmcquaid... … followed by a long-overdue visit with our great friends Bernard & Barbara of #Iona fame. Now looking forward to playing ->
