Orthodox Saints of Wales
When St. Gregory the Great sent St. Augustine of Canterbury to evangelize England in AD 595, Christianity was already long established in what is now Wales. Since the gospel may have reached this region as early as the late first century, Wales boasts innumerable Christian saints from that Orthodox/Celtic period of history. Even today the names of these saints dot the landscape of Wales, but while their names may be known, their lives and deeds have largely been forgotten. This small volume helps revitalize interest in and veneration of a number of these Orthodox holy ones, focusing primarily on those who make up what is called the "Golden Age of Saints" in Wales (the fifth through seventh centuries).
