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-the-beaten-track religious sites and artefacts, this wide-ranging book covers topics as diverse as early 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.
Where the Saints Came From will appeal to anyone who is interested in history - especially Church history, and associated spirituality, in Wales and the wider British Isles - and to those who enjoy walking and the outdoors.
