'The Gnoll Stone' (Cefn Hirfynydd), Swansea Museum, Wales

The stone is part of a Celtic wheel cross carved during the eleventh century. The figure is a Celtic priest wearing a short pleated kilt. He has his hands raised in prayer. Above the priest is the bottom section of the wheel cross.

This piece of stone is the upright shaft. The wider piece, carved with the rest of the wheel cross, has broken off at some time and is now lost. It represents a Christian tradition brought to Wales by monks from Ireland. Human figures carved on Celtic crosses are very unusual in Britain.

It is not known where the cross originally stood; it was found on a mountain near Banwen, north of Neath, where it may have been used as a boundary marker. During the eighteenth century, Sir Humphrey Mackworth moved the stone to his home, 'The Gnoll' in Neath. It was included in the grotto which he built in his garden

O Dia de São Patrício (Saint Patrick’s Day)

P´los repórteres Ariana Vital, Maria Galvão e Vicente Branco do 6ºH

Vê AQUI mais fotografias!

"No dia 17 de março, celebra-se o dia de São Patrício na Irlanda, onde é santo padroeiro. Este dia, é também celebrado em vários países anglófonos (de língua oficial inglesa) principalmente devido à forte emigração irlandesa nos finais do século XIX e início do século XX que consigo levaram a tradição de celebrar esse dia até outras paragens.

De acordo com a história, apesar de não existirem fontes exatas, São Patrício nasceu no ano 385 d.C., na pequena localidade galesa de Banwen, na Grã-Bretanha. Quando tinha dezesseis anos foi capturado e vendido como escravo na Irlanda por piratas. Após seis anos de escravatura, conseguiu escapar e regressar a casa para junto da sua família. Pouco depois de ter regressado a casa, decidiu tomar os hábitos, ingressando na vida religiosa.

Mais tarde, S. Patrício voltou à Irlanda, onde foi missionário cristão tendo, posteriormente, sido bispo.

S. Patrício desempenhou um papel fundamental para evangelização da Irlanda. Utilizou um trevo de três folhas, para ensinar a Santíssima Trindade (Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo), símbolo que se tornou parte da cultura Irlandesa.

Segundo reza a lenda, São Patrício fez desaparecer as cobras de toda a ilha céltica. Por essa razão o santo é representado, em algumas gravuras, a esmagá-las com um cajado. Morreu em 461 d.C., aos 74 anos de idade.

Atualmente, para comemorar e honrar S. Patrício, as pessoas vestem-se, neste dia, com trajes brancos e verdes numa caminhada festiva, assemelhando a um desfile alegórico, usando orgulhosamente os seus símbolos que representam a cultura céltica que contém um grande imaginário de mitos e lendas.

Entre os vários símbolos destacam-se os duendes, os trevos, a cruz celta, as harpas e a cor verde."

“You gotta get better at this,” Qrow sighed as they looked for Raven. “How was I supposed to know she would run?” Tai demanded. “Because you tried to talk about feelings with Raven,” Summer sighed. “You managed to ask her out!” He complained. “Because I got moves,” she replied smugly.

Amazing!

REPORT: Illegal Raves & Parties Identified As “Super-Spreaders” In COVID-19 Cases

Illegal raves and parties are on the rise in the UK amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown — and so is the virus itself. According to a new report, these “super-spreading” underground events have lead to a recent surge in coronavirus cases.

The Sun reports a 300 percent spike in new cases and an increase among ages 17 – 21. An investigation led by the publication could trace regional outbreaks back to illegal parties in Bristol, Manchester, Yorkshire, Norfolk and South Wales.

In one case, “an £1500 Airbnb mansion is feared to have caused a staggering 50 new infections in a single town.” Another, “attended by 500 in Hertfordshire had to be broken up by police days before cases in the area lurched up by 350 percent.”

The government is able to issue fines up to £10,000 for anyone organizing such events.

Banwen illegal rave: Couple made ravers ‘cups of tea’ When thousands of ravers descended on their community over the bank holiday weekend, one couple was not fazed.

Why raves are enjoying a revival

Nightlife Why raves are enjoying a revival

Britons are partying like it’s 1988

IT’S GROUNDHOG DECADE in Banwen, a small village in Wales. When the makers of the film “Pride” needed a location for an embattled Welsh mining community in the 1980s, they chose the tiny village on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. When 3,000 ravers arrived last weekend, that dubious decade seemed to be making a comeback.

Headlines about illegal raves recall the “second summer of love” in 1988, fuelled by the rise of dance music and party drugs such as ecstasy. The closure of clubs has revived that spirit this year, despite coronavirus restrictions banning gatherings of more than 30 people outdoors. The Metropolitan Police has recorded more than 1,000 raves (which it defines as unlicensed music events with more than 20 people) in London since the end of June. Between 2015 and 2018, the most raves reported to the Met in a single year was 133.

Even before the pandemic, raves were making a comeback. A combination of expensive rents in big cities and precarious operating licences has changed Britain’s nightlife. Big venues have passed their costs on to clubbers—entry to Printworks, a factory-turned-club in south-east London, can cost £40 ($54)—and drugs are less tolerated. In 2016 authorities revoked the licence of Fabric, a famous club in London, after two drug-related deaths. It reopened five months later, but with stricter rules, including ID-scanning and lifetime bans for anyone caught asking for drugs.

Smaller venues have taken advantage of big venues’ problems, and so have rave organisers. “You’ve got block parties, hippies in the woods, and London ones with middle-class people, thrown in a professional manner,” says James Morsh, who runs PillReport, a group that encourages people to rave responsibly. In May Mr Morsh organised the first socially distanced legal rave, with permission from Nottingham council. He had over 750 requests to attend, but could only allow 40 people to take part. He admits that it’s “not really what partying should be like”, although the arrival of 12 police officers gave the event an authentic feel. Once the police were satisfied that the revellers were not breaking any rules, they let them carry on.

Tougher punishments were introduced last month to deter people from partying. Eight organisers of the rave in Banwen were given fines of up to £10,000 each under the new regulations. But stopping determined ravers is hard, when locations are kept secret until the last minute and details shared through WhatsApp and Instagram. Mr Morsh thinks that the new penalties will have little effect: “The people throwing parties are going to keep throwing parties.”

The consequences for Banwen were not as grim as some feared. “When that many people turn up it’s a bit like ‘Oh shit, what have they come to do? Have they come to ruin the village?’,” says Alun, who lives nearby. But on checking it out, he found a fairly civilised event. Some attendees were even using hand sanitiser.

Year of STRQ: Summary

Summer frowned as she looked up at Qrow and Tai, both tangled in a net hanging from a tree. “How did this happen?” She wondered. “Short version? My semblance,” Qrow growled. “Didn’t see it.” “I’m sure that’s why,” Raven drawled. Tai’s face turned bright red. “What’s the long version?” “Unimportant.”
