0:17:59 > 0:18:03- We're in a nondescript field - on the outskirts of Mold.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- An ordinary field but one which - commemorates an unusual battle.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- The purpose of this memorial...
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- ..is to remember a battle fought - in the year 420 or thereabouts.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- The Welsh called on Germanus...
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- ..who later became St Germanus...
0:18:26 > 0:18:32- ..to help them - fight the Picts and the Saxons.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- Germanus came to them, he saw - the Picts and the Saxons approach...
0:18:37 > 0:18:44- ..and commanded the soldiers - and Welshmen to shout, "Hallelujah!"
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- This memorial on top of the hill...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- ..is called the Alleluia Monument...
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- ..because victory was reached - after that unanimous shout.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- The Picts and Saxons - fled for their lives.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- Germanus, - like many other saints after him...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- ..established many landmarks...
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- ..where Christians could - come together and spread the gospel.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- We've been greatly blessed - here in Wales...
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- ..ever since then, in actual fact.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- We got to hear the gospel - early in our history...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- ..and we were given the Bible - early in our history too.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- We were one of the first nations...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- ..to have the Bible - translated into our mother tongue.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- We have - countless reasons to praise God...
0:19:37 > 0:19:43- ..to say "hallelujah" and to - thank him for all he's done for us.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Things are - very different nowadays in Wales...
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- ..compared to the time - when Saint Germanus came here...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- ..and spread the good news.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- I think we should - commemorate what they shared...
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- ..and remember there's no bigger - Saviour and no greater news...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- ..than what they shared back then.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Jesus Christ was crucified, - he rose again...
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- ..and shared his victory with us.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Our programme draws to a close.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- I hope you've enjoyed our lively - celebration of St David's Day...
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- ..and that you'll - join us again next week.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Our final hymn - is Bendigedig Enw'r Ior.
