Seo scéal a thugann radharc dúinn ar Cholm Cille an duine, duine a raibh a chuid laigí féin aige agus a raibh constaicí go leor le sárú aige. Tumtar sinn i saol éiginnte an séú haois, tráth a raibh athruithe móra ag teacht ar shaol na ndaoine; tráth a raibh ríthe uaillmhianacha in adharca a chéile; tráth a raibh seansaol na págántachta ag géilleadh don Chríostaíocht.

This is a story that gives us a glimpse of the human Columba, a person who had his own weaknesses and had many obstacles to overcome. We are immersed in the uncertain life of the sixth century, a time when great changes were coming to people’s lives; a time when ambitious kings were at each other’s horns; at a time when the old world of paganism was yielding to Christianity.
