-We've heard one -of Eurig Salisbury's poems. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
-He's also researched -the cult of saints in Wales. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-Tell us more about St David. -How much do we know about him? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-St David had very close ties -to Ceredigion. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-By all accounts, his father -was a king in Ceredigion. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:45 | |
-His mother, Non, -she had links to this part of Wales. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
-We associate him with St David's, -the city that's named after him. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-He performed many miracles. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-The main miracle we associate -with St David... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-..is the miracle he performed at a -meeting of religious dignitaries... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:07 | |
-..in Llanddewi-brefi. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-So many people attended the meeting, -some couldn't hear David or see him. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
-David caused the hill, or the -land under his feet, to rise up. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
-At the same time, -a dove landed on his shoulder. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-That's the main story -we associate with Dewi Sant today. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-He had a strong influence on Wales. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-He had an important influence -from very early on. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-He was a national icon -for Wales from early times. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-Take the early poem, -Armes Prydein, as an example. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-The anonymous poet -calls on the Welsh nation... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-..the Scottish nation, -the Irish nation and beyond... | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-..to unite against the English -and drive them from the island. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
-They are asked to do that -by unifying under St David's banner. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:04 | |
-That's very significant. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-I'm working at the Centre for -Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-Our project is called -The Cult of Saints in Wales. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-We're researching poems that -were written in the Middle Ages... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
-..dedicated to saints. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-There are a vast amount. -The cult was strong at the time. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-We have poems written -by Iolo Goch and Ieuan ap Rhydderch. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
-One interesting poem was -written by Dafydd Llwyd o Fathafarn. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
-In the poem, -Dafydd calls on David... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-..to help no less than Henry Tudor, -by all accounts... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-..to journey to Wales -and claim the crown. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-He succeeded -and the thanks goes to St David. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-Is St David just as relevant today? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-He's as iconic now as he ever was -to the Welsh nation. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
-He's fulfilled an important role -across the centuries and still does. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
-He's our national icon -and a symbol of Welshness. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
-That's very important. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-"Jesus failed to walk tall -on the water | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-"And today he drowns -as would any man | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-"Who opposes the laws -as he walks on the water. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-"In the face of the severe storms -of our dark days | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-"Black clouds gather -on distant horizons | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-"Surrounded by fear and prejudice, -harsh are our dark days. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
-"The tide churns the fever -through the veins of the world | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-"Hearts are the drums of war -banging louder all the time. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
-"A thin needle of poison -courses through our veins. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-"What is there for us in Wales? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
-"Ruins in our blood | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-"And in the storm we drown, -the Bible at our feet. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-"The weight of the shirt upon us -is a ruin in our blood. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
-"Jesus rose from the words | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-"And showed us how -there was a way to love | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
-"Which overcomes, -a gift to the world | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-"And the myriad of little things -shows us there's a way | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-"For two old enemies today -to calm the bustling sea | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-"By extending a hand, a shadow -and insisting on holding on tight | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-"Jesus of the little things -calms the tumultuous seas. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-"We build upon a ruin -that stood in the water | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
-"In the face of the manic battles -of our history | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-"Jesus of the little things -is walking on the water." | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
