Place of Pilgrimage

Now that we're back from Nepal we can indulge ourselves in more local places of pilgrimage where you can breathe the air and drink the water. This is the wonderful Llandaff Cathedral (again).

There is evidence of Christian worship on this site from the 6th Century and it became a place of pilgrimage after the death of St. Teilo. St. Teilo was a contemporary of St. David (d. Tuesday, 1st March 589.

My favourite saying of St. David is 'Do the little things in life' (Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd'').

"Moreover, it is often the little things in life that we do which makes a difference. In our days, many people will say 'what is the point of doing this or that', because there is no immediate visible reward: this is because we live in a utilitarian society. Sometimes, the little things are the most important things to do: helping an old lady find the right bus on the timetable, stopping to chat to someone looking a little lonely at a social, being a discrete ear and friendly tea-maker, or even opening the front door when you'd rather just stay on your 'couch and lie in vacant or in pensive mood'." (East Anglia Seminarians)

It's wonderful to have Llandaff Cathedral almost on our doorstep, minutes away, and home in time for tea.
