These Welsh videos have been a beautiful spotlight on Orthodox history in the west. We should all be grateful for Fr. Andrew recording these, and proud of him for containing his philological nerdery (even though i can see him vibrate with excitement everytime Fr. Deiniol busts out some Welsh).
The shrine of St Melangell was restored in the early 1990s by a stonemason friend of mine, Mark Evans. The valley is about 20 miles from where I live. A wonderful place.
@@mrsnkg7904 I live close by Pennant Melangell and found it by “accident” not knowing then what it was. The overwhelming sense of peace and inner healing that washed over me as I visited brought me to spontaneous tears - a truly beautiful experience.
I can’t help myself. Who are the true Britons of Britain? The Welsh! Thank you for this video! It’s like the Orthodox Church is coming back home to Wales.
Thank you Fr. Andrew for this edifying conversation. Fr. Deiniol seems like an absolute gem of a person on top of his impressive grasp of Welsh/Brythonic history.
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Tadau! An absolute joy to listen to. Our whole island has such a rich heritage of saints and holy places, and it’s wonderful to see that oft-neglected inheritance now forming a wellspring of encouragement for orthodox worship in our times. May the prayers of St Elen of Caernarvon and all the Saints of Britain accompany and bless you on your journeys, Father Andrew.
I'm late finding this gem, but if you happen to still be in North Wales, do make the journey to visit Ynys Mon, the home of Deiniol and Seiriol. Aside from the God given natural beauty, there's an absolute wealth of history here, from Roman forts, to Neolithic tombs, Medieval castles, and, of course, Christian monasteries. It's absolutely worth the detour.
As an American with a fair bit of ancestry in the British Isles, I picked saints from there for my children’s names. Cadoc of Llancarfan and Ceara (Kiera) of Ireland. I hope to have the time and funds to make a pilgrimage at some point.
This video is surely going to be considered a treasure. Thank you both, and all who produced it.. Such peaceful moments to spend with both of you.. And a joy to be reminded of Met. Anthony and the Church that is in easy walking distance of where we used to stay when his work took my husband and me to London. As we were on our journey to the Orthodox Faith and as we ended that part of it, the Church of the Dormition .. became an extremely-important part of our lives.. MEMORY ETERNAL! ☦📿💝📿☦
Tad Deiniol is a noble and eloquent Father of Christ's Church. We are blessed to have him ☦️⚓❤️

So glad to see tad Deniol! ❤
Wow Fr Andrew you sure get around!

The mission is not to grow one denomination over others, it is *to save all holy places from intruders and unfaithful.*
