The saints of the ancient Wales. Hughes G.

The book is dedicated to the saints of Ancient Wales (Wales) - a peninsula in the West of Great Britain - where before the Great Schism of 1054 and the Norman invasion of 1066, which entailed the defeat of Orthodoxy in England, the Church was relatively free from the influence of Rome and held the Orthodox faith.

, on the veneration of the Saints of Great Britain and Western Europe, who lived before the Roman Church from Orthodoxy, was insisted by St. John, Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisian (Maksimovich), who presented a report to the Bishop Synod in 1952, and later published a special Decree "On the veneration of the ancient Saints of the West." Saint John handed over to the Council of Bishops a list of Western Orthodox saints, and the disciples of St. Hieromonk Serafim (Rose) and hegumen German (Podmoshensky), who founded the Brotherhood of the Monk Herman Alaskinsky, since then began to publish the “Orthodox Holy German Calendar” in Platino-so The saints of the ancient saints came into the life of modern Orthodox people.
