斯凯利格·迈克尔岛(Sceilg Mhichíl),又名大斯凯利格岛(Great Skellig)位于爱尔兰西南部海岸约12公里处。约7世纪起,一座隐修院就高高矗立在岩岛陡峭的山坡上了。这是最早的爱尔兰基督徒们远离尘世、在非常艰苦的环境里生存的写照。斯凯利格·迈克尔岛地理位置极端偏远,致使人们直到现在都难以光顾,反而得到了特殊保护。
This monastic complex, perched since about the 7th century on the steep sides of the rocky island of Skellig Michael, some 12 km off the coast of south-west Ireland, illustrates the very spartan existence of the first Irish Christians. Since the extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors, the site is exceptionally well preserved.
