Trefor, could you fill us in on what the church behind you is?

In casr Trefor is not online, it is St. David's Cathedral. St. David is the patron Saint of Wales.

Thanks, Phil! I knew the patron saint part. Is that where he is buried?

Phil has already answered this. A Cathedral is where a Bishop has his throne and they are usually, as this one is, somewhat bigger than most churches. It is also this that gives St Davids its claim to city status even though it is so small.

There is a reliquary in one of the chapels that claims to hold his bones.

Now that's a wonderful tartan! Since some of my ancestors came from Wales I got to place it high on my list for kilts-to-come. I guess my ancestors didn't like the gray and rain. Thanks for the wonderful photos.
