- History:
- The Orthodox Monastery of Iona was founded in the summer of 2022 by Fr Seraphim Aldea (founder and serving priest of Mull Monastery), after he and several monks raised enough founds to purchase a property on the Isle of Iona, a former Bed & Breakfast accommodation called Iona Cottage. Having undergone restoration to make the house suitable for inhabitation, the monks made it their permanent home, essentially splitting the formerly both male and female Mull Monastery into two separate monasteries - one for nuns on Mull and the other for monks on Iona. Iona Monastery was formally recognised by the Synod of the Metropolis of Southern and Western Europe (Romanian Patriarchate) in March 2023. In 2024, the Monastery acquired and renovated a larger property towards the north of the Isle of Iona, which now permanently houses the monks. Iona Cottage, their former residence, is now mainly used as a pilgrim accommodation.
