Re: Christianity in Wales |
> I couldnt agree more!!
> It was in fact Wales that was the only lght of christianity during the dark ages. The Welsh church was apastolic in foundation - being founded by St Ilid (Joseph of Arimathea) soon after the crucification.
> Indeed, the Cymru were the very first christian nation - one of the earliest churches in the west being founded at either Llandaff or Llanbedr y Mynydd (by King Lleirwg).
> The Roman church was founded by a Briton as you have mentioned (Emperor Constantine being the half British son of Empress Helen - who was a British princess)
> If only the Welsh were aware of their history!!!Everything you say is true but, please, one small word. "only" light of Christianity during the dark ages? Would you exclude the Irish from this honor? If my history serves rightly, Ireland did indeed keep Christianity alive and preserved many of the old books that would otherwise have been lost in the burnings and lootings of Europe when Rome fell. What say you? Hazel
