Real Celtic Christianity: Early Orthodoxy in Wales
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Part of the 'Ancient Faith of Britain: Orthodoxy in the Isles' series, this episode takes a look at what the earliest missionaries would have encountered when they first arrived in Britain. What did the land look like? How did people live?
King Lucius was so impressed by what he had heard about the Christians in the East that he wrote to Pope Eleutherius in the mid- to late-second century, and asked him to send missionaries. Eleutherius sent St Fagan and St Deruvian, and these two became the first instructors of the Welsh in the Orthodox Christian Faith. We visit the sort of buildings in which these men might have met, and enjoy an introduction to the visual landscape of the early Christian Celts.
Join me, Fr Jacob Siemens, Orthodox priest serving the Parish of St Theodore and St Teilo in Cardiff, Wales, as I take you on a journey across Britain - and Wales in particular - to learn more about how the Orthodox Christian Faith arrived here, about how it spread, and about some of its wonderful and inspiring saints.

Thank you for watching!
I live in Cornwall and attend our only Orthodox Church here, called St. Piran's. If you ever visit again, it'd be great to see you there. I work at a heritage tin mine, organizing and conducting tours, so I have learned quite a bit about Cornwall's history with the tin trade. I'm currently trying to put together an essay on the Holy Grail being made out of Cornish tin. This is clearly just speculation on my part, but I like the idea of building on the myth of Joseph being a tin trader and returning the cup to where its material life first began. I'm really enjoying this series of videos. Meur ras
Glory to God please lin the essay here when you finish.

Hi , where is it in Cornwall please ?
This is so great to watch as a soon to be convert and catechumen into Western Rite Orthodoxy who lives in the UK.
May the UK return to this earliest form of true Christianity.
I'm very glad to read this. Be of good cheer as you move forward, knowing that you are joining so great a company of saints!
Thank you Father.
Blimey good stuff i think it goes back even further when i read names and places in the OT and there are a good number of a familiar sound.
Thank you Fr !! Was very interesting and i learned some new things today from your video 🙏 God bless 🙏
Blessings from Greece.
Kyrie eleison ☦️
Thank you.
Thank you Father!!!
Fascinating video!!
I am really appreciating this series. Thank you for your efforts on it Fr.
These are great videos, Father.
I look forward to the next time you visit Glasgow. I missed you the last time you visited.
@@lifelongcatechumen I will endeavour to return soon! In the meantime, God be with you!
Thakyou Father. This was an interesting video
I believe you are completely correct and I want to give you the evidence. I have discovered the Pictish epigraphic orthography which transcribes their inscriptions into Old Irish literary orthography, enabling their previously untranslated ogham inscriptions composed between the 6th. and 9th. centuries A.D., to be read within the Five Components of Language. Typologically, the language is an isolating creole, an advanced pidgin with a morpheme to meaning relationship of 1:1, which used the Old Irish lexicon as its lexifier.
The majority of the inscriptions are ecclesiastical, the largest group relates to eulogies of individual saints. Others relate to John 6:63. Two are contemplations, one upon Sola Fide.
This discovery also changes the place names of Scotland. The prefix aber- is not Welsh for 'confluence' (the towns are either not on a confluence or on a river of the same name) but Old Irish for Lord + Great after which always follows an ecclesiastical epithet. e.g. Aberbothrie = ab + er + both + rie = (O.I.) ab + ér + both + rí = Lord Great Creation King = 'Great Lord King of Creation'. Abercrombie = Ab + erc + rom + bie = (O.I.) Ab + erc + rom + bie = Lord + heaven + preeminent + shall be.
Many other towns have ecclesiastical names. The name Meigle simply means 'bleating' and describes the people of the town relative to Psalm 23 and Psalm 100. The name Aboyne means Ab + oen = Lord + one = One Lord.
Here is an example of an inscription (Buckquoy spindle whorl)
Transliteration: ETMIQAOSALLC
Non scriptio continua: ETH MI QA O SALLC
Transcribed: eth mi- ca o saləch
Old Irish: et mi- ca ó salach
English: Jealous evil-man made of moral impurity
Inspiration Galatians 5:19-21. The cloth they wear is imbued with the wisdom of the Lord even during its manufacture. Thus, the idea of putting on the Body of Christ upon conversion was a literal act.
I will write to you. I will visit you and give you all the evidence. You are welcome here. What I have discovered will change the history of the Church and you are far better informed to comment upon that than I am.
Please forgive the atheism of our people, i am aging now but grew up in a chapel tradition, everybody in those days belonged to a church, and they were deeply sectarian, hateful and often hipocritical. They had often forgotten to love. This bore fruit, i believe, in the troubles in Northern Ireland.
I'd love to know if Celtric tribes lived intergenerationally in the same houses or if new couples were often built their own new house
@@megangoldsney8214 I suspect it was the former. If you watch my video called ‘Real Celtic Christianity’, I actually filmed it from a Celtic dwelling of the sort that would have been in use from around 500 BC to the second century at least and it would have been plenty big enough for a large group. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/LGq55w9eTXo/v-deo.htmlsi=bBy9lM6QuvtZ-M5q
What was practiced before Christianity? Is there any knowledge of that or Christianity wiped out the previous practices and culture?
