Summary

| Description |
English: Eglwys S. Ursula Llangwyryfon One of only two churches in Europe to be dedicated to St.Ursula and the 11000 Virgins, the other being in Cologne, Germany.
"According to legend, Saint Ursula and her handmaidens made a pilgrimage by sea from Britain to Rome. The voyage took three years, and they were blown off course to many strange places. Finally, they arrived at the Rhine River. When Saint Ursula refused to marry a Hun chieftain, she and her companions were martyred in Cologne around 500 A.D. As this story was retold, the number of martyred virgins grew from 11 to 11,000, perhaps in part due to a mistranslation of the story." |
