Starting in the 6th century, Christianity began spreading among the Picts. βͺ
Missionaries, like St. Columba, traveled to Scotland to teach about their faith. The Picts were initially pagan, worshiping nature and various gods. π²
However, many converted to Christianity, which changed their way of life. They built churches and created beautiful religious art, mixing their Pictish symbols with Christian designs. This transformation also led to a new sense of
community. Celebrating shared beliefs helped unite previously separate tribes into larger kingdoms.
