Where the Saints Came From tells the story of the Christian faith in Wales from late-Roman times to the present day. With discussion of over forty off-beaten-track religious sites and artefacts, the book covers topics as diverse as medieval ecclesiastical bells, the impact on faith and belief of the Civil War in the seventeenth century, and the portrayal of Celtic saints in modern literature and art.
Thousands of miles of walking on pilgrimage in Wales and further afield, combined with extensive research, has resulted in this celebration of the Welsh Christian experience.
‘In reading this book we are allowed to drink in the stories and wisdom gained from tracing the footsteps of saints past, but further, it challenges us to go out and be pilgrims of the present. It works well on either level. But in combination, reading and doing, it works the very best of all.’
The Right Reverend John D.P. Lomas, Bishop of Swansea and Brecon
