THE cult of St Eiluned is much more fully documented than the Saint herself, being described in two sources, of the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. These must therefore be the starting-point for an investigation both into the Saint’s historicity, which is at best dubious, and into the significance of the cult, which throws light on religious practices over a very lengthy period. Aspects of these practices, and comparisons with other cults elsewhere, may well point to an early origin for this one
