Context: Colmcille fled Ireland for the island of Iona and founded a monastery there, in what had been a holy place of the pre-Christian religion. The reason he fled was that he caused a slaughterous battle when he was in a pet over a legal decision stating “Le gach boin a boinín, le gach leabhar a leabhrán” – “To every cow her calf, [therefore by analogy] to every book its copy”, which used Brehon agricultural law as a precedent for a judgment saying that a beautiful illuminated manuscript Colmcille had made, a copy of a book owned by his mentor, Finian, belonged to Finian because it was a copy of Finian’s priceless manuscript.
Iona called their organisation after Colmcille’s monastery, traditionally the holiest place to Irish Catholics.
Sorry for the laborious joke.

A glowing intra-uterine David Quinn, singing to my foetus. “‘Cause you’ve started something, oh, can’t you see? That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me.” Tuneful bubbling on the ultrasound. The nurse hides her worry.
“Dr Staunton, could you look at this? I’m picking up something that sounds like… singing.”
Deep inside me, the gurgling coheres into a viscous, echoing croon. “It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do. I want to spend each moment of the day with you. With you. With you…”
It’ll be blaring every afternoon so from 3pm!
