Thank you for visiting t...Good Morning Ms Nicole J<br /><br />Thank you for visiting this blog. You can visit the grave of St David Lewis at the Priory Church of St Mary, Usk. It is the grave nearest to the main entrance of the church. Every year on the Sunday nearest to 27th August there is a pilgrimage to this holy site. One reason why there are no remains of many of the martyrs is that they were hanged, disemboweled, beheaded and quartered. The quarters were then distributed to various locations to be displayed prominently as a deterrent to others who clung to the Old Faith. Sometimes, as in the case of St David Lewis, the martyr was permitted a burial. I hope this helps answer your query somewhat. Thanks for taking the time to comment. breadgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431765175096296910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880808099471096480.post-74459838105114090702013-01-22T01:01:01.279+00:002013-01-22T01:01:01.279+00:00Are the relics in a RC church....so called Llantar...Are the relics in a RC church....so called Llantarnam Abbey?<br />I'm very interested in visiting new places where I could find the tomb or relics from English saints, but I don't understand why every place I've gone there are no remains of the saints. I suppose It might be because of the Anglican Reform. Anyway It is so weird not to understand where the remains are.<br />Administradorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022163163361456309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880808099471096480.post-18913802729897475132010-01-20T11:00:56.948+00:002010-01-20T11:00:56.948+00:00Good Morning Esther
It's nice to hear from you...Good Morning Esther<br />It's nice to hear from you. My purpose in doing this blog is to let the world know about our wonderful Welsh (not English!) martyr. He is a great saint but, unfortunately, he is little known outside his own area. I am pleased that you have discovered him and my earliest posts give all kinds of details about St David Lewis, his life, work, family, etc. I would be very grateful, as well as delighted, if you could give him a mention in your wonderful blog. The relic? No, I am not fortunate enough to have a relic of St David Lewis. This one, photographed by my husband, belongs to the Sisters at Llantarnam Abbey, which is close to where we live. Thanks for everything, Esther, and God bless you.breadgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431765175096296910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880808099471096480.post-56699422431428379162010-01-20T00:18:37.246+00:002010-01-20T00:18:37.246+00:00BG, thank you for sharing a new English martyr wit...BG, thank you for sharing a new English martyr with us!
