CANON ANDREW JONES
Canon Jones is Rector of Llanbedrog and Rural Dean of Llyn and Eifionydd and author of ‘Every Pilgrim's Guide to Celtic Britain and Ireland’, published by Canterbury Press. He talks about the Llyn in the sixth century as a centre of religious activity and about Saint Beuno, generally regarded as the patron saint of north Wales. He talks of how Bardsey was given the name ‘island of Resurrection’ by the 12th century poet Meilyr Brydydd and how contemporary pilgrims still find new life and rejuvenation there.

THE REV. SUSIE WILLIAMS
Susie explains the tradition of laying rushes and medicinal herbs on the floor at St Beuno’s Church in Pistyll, which has its origins in the celebration of Lammas Day, a thanksgiving for the first of the harvest. The herbs have antibacterial qualities and Susie explains the physical and spiritual healing effect on both early and modern pilgrims.

Sister Theresa is a member of the order of the Sisters of the Holy Name but lives as a hermit on the peninsula. She is also a well known icon painter and her icons are displayed in several churches on the Llyn including St Gwynhoedl’s at Llangwnnadl. She talks of how she painted Gwynhoedl according to his nickname ‘Life of Light’ and how she tries through her icons to reflect the movement of the Holy Spirit.
