St. Paul Aurelian Catholic.Net St. Paul Aurelian Catholic.net Paul Aurelian (known in Breton as Paol Aorelian or Saint Pol de Léon and in Latin as Paulinus Aurelianus) was a 6th-century Welshman who became first bishop of the See of Léon and one of the seven founder saints of Brittany. He allegedly died in 575 at the age of 140 after having been assisted in his labors by three successive coadjutors. This suggests that several Paul's have been mixed up. Gilbert Hunter Doble thought that he might have been Saint Paulinus of Wales. Family According to his hagiographic Life, completed in 884 by a Breton monk named Wrmonoc of Landévennec Abbey, Paul was the son of a Welsh chieftain named Perphirius/Porphyrius ("clad in purple"), from Penychen in Glamorgan. He was later given three saintly sister-martyrs; Juthwara, Sidwell and Wulvela. In the Life of Cadoc the princely founder of Llancarfan is reckoned the son of Gwynllyw, eponymous founder of the cantref of Gwynllwg and the son of Glywys. Medieval sources give Gwynllyw a brother, called "Pawl", who is chief of neighbouring Penychen. Career Paul first was a pupil of Saint Illtud at Llantwit Major. Later, he studied on Caldey Island with Samson of Dol and Gildas. He went to Brittany, establishing monasteries in Finistère at Ouessant on the northwest coast of Brittany, at Lampaul on the island of Ushant, on the island of Batz and at Ocsimor, now the city of Saint-Pol-de-Léon, where he is said to have founded a monastery in an abandoned fort. He was consecrated bishop there under the authority of Childebert, King of the Franks. Paul was a vegetarian. One account says he died on the island of Batz. He was first buried at Saint-Pol-de-Léon, but his relics were later transferred to Fleury Abbey. His bell is kept at Saint-Pol. His feast day is 12 March. Paulinus of Wales G. H. Doble thought Saint Paul Aurelian might be the same as Saint Paulinus of página 1 / 2 St. Paul Aurelian Catholic.net Wales, revered in Carmarthenshire, southwest Wales as a hermit and teacher at a place usually identified as Whitland. Hywel David Emanuel considered the identification of Paul Aurelian with the Carmarthenshire Paulinus as doubtful. In Rhygyfarch's Life of S. David (chapter x), Saint David is stated to have completed his education under S. Paulinus (Paulens), who is described as a "scribe, a disciple of S. Germanus the bishop". When Paulinus became blind, David is said to have miraculously restored his sight. Paulinus of Wales founded churches and chapels around Llandovery. He is said to have taught Saint Teilo and to have nominated David to speak at the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi (in around 545). Claims to having founded the church at Paul are dubious. A 6th century inscribed stone found at Caeo in Carmarthenshire, now in the Carmarthen Museum, appears to honour him as "preserver of the faith, constant lover of his country, champion of righteousness". His feast day is 23 November. página 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth
    Chapter 14 Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth Barry Lewis Few authors inspire as many conflicting interpretations as Geoffrey of Monmouth. On one proposition, however, something close to a consen- sus reigns: Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote history in a manner that shows re- markable indifference toward religion and the institutional church. Antonia Gransden, in her fundamental survey of medieval English historical writing, says that “the tone of his work is predominantly secular” and even that he “abandoned the Christian intention of historical writing” and “had no moral, edificatory purpose”, while J.S.P. Tatlock, author of what is still the fullest study of Geoffrey, speaks of a “highly intelligent, rational and worldly personality” who shows “almost no interest in monachism … nor in miracles”, nor indeed in “religion, theology, saints, popes, even ecclesiastics in general”.1 Yet, even if these claims reflect a widely shared view, it is nonetheless startling that they should be made about a writer who lived in the first half of the 12th century. Some commentators find Geoffrey’s work so divergent from the norms of ear- lier medieval historiography that they are reluctant to treat him as a historian at all. Gransden flatly describes him as “a romance writer masquerading as an historian”.2 More cautiously, Matilda Bruckner names Geoffrey among those Latin historians who paved the way for romance by writing a secular-minded form of history “tending to pull away from the religious model (derived from Augustine and Orosius) that had viewed human history largely within the scheme of salvation”.3 This Christian tradition of historiography, against which Geoffrey of Monmouth is said to have rebelled, had its origins in late antiquity in the works of Eusebius, Augustine, and Orosius.

  • Then Arthur Fought the MATTER of BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D
    Then Arthur Fought THE MATTER OF BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D. Howard M. Wiseman Then Arthur Fought is a possible history centred on a possi- bly historical figure: Arthur, battle-leader of the dark-age (5th- 6th century) Britons against the invading Anglo-Saxons. Writ- ten in the style of a medieval chronicle, its events span more than 250 years, and most of Western Europe, all the while re- specting known history. Drawing upon hundreds of ancient and medieval texts, Howard Wiseman mixes in his own inventions to forge a unique conception of Arthur and his times. Care- fully annotated, Then Arthur Fought will appeal to anyone in- terested in dark-age history and legends, or in new frameworks for Arthurian fiction. Its 430 pages include Dramatis Personae, genealogies, notes, bibliography, and 20 maps. —— Then Arthur Fought is an extraordinary achievement. ... An absorbing introduction to the history and legends of the period [and] ... a fascinating synthesis. — from the Foreword by Patrick McCormack, author of the Albion trilogy. —— A long and lavishly detailed fictional fantasia on the kind of primary source we will never have for the Age of Arthur. ... soaringly intelligent and, most unlikely of all, hugely entertaining. It is a stunning achievement, enthusiastically recommended. — Editor’s Choice review by Steve Donoghue, Indie Reviews Editor, Historical Novel Society. Contents List of Figures x Foreword, by Patrick McCormack xi Preface, by the author xv Introduction: history, literature, and this book xix Dramatis Personae xxxi Genealogies xxxix

  • Daily Saints – 1 March St. David of Wales Born: 500 AD, Caerfai Bay
    Daily Saints – 1 March St. David of Wales Born: 500 AD, Caerfai Bay, United Kingdom, Died: March 1, 589 AD, St David’s, United Kingdom, Feast: 1 March, Canonized: 1123, Rome, Holy Roman Empire (officially recognized) by Pope Callixtus II, Venerated in Roman Catholic Church; Eastern Orthodox Church; Anglican Communion, Attributes: Bishop with a dove, usually on his shoulder, sometimes standing; on a raised hillock Among Welsh Catholics, as well as those in England, March 1 is the liturgical celebration of Saint David of Wales. St. David is the patron of the Welsh people, remembered as a missionary bishop and the founder of many monasteries during the sixth century. David was a popular namesake for churches in Wales before the Anglican schism, and his feast day is still an important religious and civic observance. Although Pope Benedict XVI did not visit Wales during his 2010 trip to the U.K., he blessed a mosaic icon of its patron, and delivered remarks praising St. David as “one of the great saints of the sixth century, that golden age of saints and missionaries in these isles, and...thus a founder of the Christian culture which lies at the root of modern Europe.” In his comments, Pope Benedict recalled the saint's dying words to his monastic brethren: "Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things." He urged that St. David's message, "in all its simplicity and richness, continue to resound in Wales today, drawing the hearts of its people to a renewed love for Christ and his Church." From a purely historical standpoint, little is known of David’s life, with the earliest biography dating from centuries after his time.

Richard Sowerby THE LIVES OF ST SAMSON Rewriting the Ambitions of an Early Medieval Cult In the middle of the ninth century, at the monastery of Dol in Brittany, the Life of the sixth-century saint Samson was rewritten. The rewriter evidently perceived a defi- ciency in the existing Life of St Samson, and one that many modern historians would come to share: the fact that it had very little to say about Brittany. The first Life (referred to by historians as the Vita prima Samsonis) dedicated over fifty chapters to Samson’s birth in Gwent, his education at the monastery of St Iltut, and his journeys around Wales, Ireland and Cornwall in search of ascetic rigours before his episcopal ordination and the foundation of his own monastery in Cornwall. But about Sam- son’s subsequent voyage to Brittany, the foundation of Dol, and his deeds on the Continent, the author of the Vita prima knew only enough for nine short chapters.

  • HEART and SOUL Words PHONETICALLY of the Ancient Druid Faith and Shaped the First Gorsedd Rituals
    VALE OF GLAMORGAN AMBASSADOR LLYSGENNAD BRO MORGANNWG Vale of Glamorgan Heart &Soul ‘The Vale of Glamorgan & Glamorganshire’ Not surprisingly, historical records about the Vale of Glamorgan, often refer to just ‘Glamorgan’ or Glamorganshire’ and each will be mentioned in this account. Glamorgan or, sometimes, Glamorganshire was one of the thirteen historic counties of Wales. It was originally an early medieval petty kingdom of varying boundaries known as Glywysing until taken over by the Normans as a lordship. In later years, Glamorganshire was represented by the three counties of Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and West Glamorgan. The name now survives in Vale of Glamorgan, the most southerly county in Wales, neighbouring those of Cardiff, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff. Introduction Saints And Scolars The Vale of Glamorgan’s spiritual history is as layered as the liassic The Vale of Glamorgan, with its three limestone of its coast.

A special sheet will be provided with the Mass texts. Quote of the Week “Accept God’s message for what it really is: God’s message and not some human thinking.” First letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians 2:13 Saint Teilo’s Day The feast day of St. Teilo is celebrated on February 9th in the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church in Wales. St. Teilo was a 6th century monk and Bishop. He was a very popular saint in Wales with more churches dedicated to his name than any saint other than St. David. According to tradition, St. Teilo studied under St. Paulinus at the monastic school at Whitland, Carmarthenshire. Here he met and became firm friends with St. David. St. Teilo subsequently travelled with him to Mynyw, now known as St. David’s, where St. David set up his religious community. As a Bishop, St. Teilo founded the Cathedral Church at Llandaff, where he is buried, and the great Abbey in the town named after him, Llandeilo. St. Teilo was also a missionary, travelling to Brittany to share the faith.
