St. Deiniol the Younger of Bangor, Wales (Dayniol, Deyniolen, Daniel) ----------------------------------------------- Died 621. Saint Deiniol was abbot of Bangor at the time of the slaughter of his monks and the destruction of their monastery by King Ethelfrid of Northumbria in 616. The saint appears to have escaped the massacre (Benedictines). Troparion of St Deiniol the Younger tone 8 Being preserved from martyrdom at the hands of the warlike Ethelfrid,/ thou didst persevere in thy missionary labours, O Father Deiniol./ Wherefore we entreat thee to pray to God for us/ that, being firm in the faith, we may be found worthy of His great mercy. ******************************** Suppliers of Icons of Celtic Saints for the church or the prayer corner at home. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celt-saints/message/2875 ********************************* Icons of Western Saints http://www.allmercifulsavior.com/icons/Western.html Calendar of Celtic and Old English Saints http://web.archive.org/web/20040810020519/www.orthodoxireland.com/saints/calendarofsaints Tiny Url: http://tinyurl.com/5kt36e For All the Saints: http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/ss-index.htm These Lives are archived at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celt-saints ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
