Part 5 of the 'Ancient Faith of Britain: Orthodoxy in the Isles' series, in this episode, we visit Dol-de-Bretagne in France, and learn about the incredible links between St Samson of Dol, St Teilo of Llandaff, and King Arthur. We also encounter a dragon.
Come and see where St Samson, who was originally from South Wales, ended up, and where his friend St Teilo defeated a problematic dragon. And as a bonus, come a see an ancient menhir with me - one that Obelix himself might have set in place.
Who knew that Orthodoxy, King Arthur, and a character from the Asterix comics could appear all in one place? Yet here we are: the second video in which they do!
Join me, Fr Jacob Siemens, Orthodox priest serving the Parish of St Theodore and St Teilo in Cardiff, Wales, as I take you on a journey across Britain - and Wales in particular - to learn more about how the Orthodox Christian Faith arrived here, about how it spread, and about some of its wonderful and inspiring saints.
