Strictly speaking, St. Columba didn't take Christianity anywhere (in the sense of
introducing it). What he did do though, is leave his native Ireland to begin a revival of monasticism in western Scotland. His ministry was centred on Iona Island,
a settlement that stands today as a popular mecca for religious ascetics.
