Church Buildings
The three buildings for use by the parish of Abergele are the Parish Church of St Michael's, the daughter Church of St David's and Church House, a hall used for functions. The map shows the location of the three buildings.
St Michael is one of the four archangels; the other three being Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. St Michael is often shown slaying a dragon, illustrating Revelation Ch. 12:7 where Michael and his angels defeat the dragon and his angels. It is easy to tell that it is St Michael not St George who is portrayed, as archangels are usually shown with wings and there is no princess waiting to be rescued. In the church there are two stain glass windows showing St Michael and there is a wooden statue of him over the lych gate. |
St David was a Welsh Celtic monk in the 6th century and is the Patron Saint of Wales. He established many monasteries and churches in south-west England and Wales, so many churches are dedicated to him.
