My Parish

I am so proud of my parish church. Posting this today after I saw this picture on the Roving Medievalist and was shocked to see the very same statues of Sts Peter & Paul (but painted differently) Our parish is beautiful and lends itself so wondrously to prayer. I thank God that He brought my family here.

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
