Where the Saints Came from
Langbeschreibung
Anne Hayward spends several months each year walking to sacred sites in Britain and beyond, now having covered many thousands of miles. Her third book recounting these pilgrimage walks looks in more detail at the history of 40+ sites she has visited in Wales or in places with a strong connection to it. In roughly chronological order, the book follows the history of Christianity in the country, discussing topics as varied as Roman roads, early medieval bell-founding, the development of Quaker graveyards, and the reinvention of an early saint in contemporary literature. It tells the remarkable story of religious faith in Wales, not only from the later Roman period and the Age of the Saints, but also in later times and into our own day, asking whether anywhere else has packed quite so much interest into so small a nation.
Anne Hayward read History at Oxford University and went on to become a secondary school Religious Education teacher. She is now a Lay Reader in the Diocese of Brecon and Swansea, is actively involved in leadership in her local church, and has written articles for various local magazines and newspapers. She is the author of 'A Pilgrimage Around Wales' (Y Lolfa, 2018) and 'A Celtic Pilgrimage' (Y Lolfa, 2020).
