Nunraw New Abbey history of construction 126 from an Album

Nunraw - An Album

Archiving the 'pictures' awakens vivid awareness the sense of daunting in the task of the so called  DIY of the New Abbey. The 'Do It Yourselves' monastery lived the joy of monks and countless helpers in kind and work and, support and enthusiasm.
Monastic prayer primed the spark for every next activity.
The living spirit filled our hearts in the amazing grace of collaborations in building a 'house of God'..
And here, the old story is proof that each 'gem' of picture is worth a million words!
