'And did those feet ...'
The Wendy Davies article is I think in Nancy Edwards and Alan Lane, The
early church in Wales and the West : recent work in early Christian
archaeology, history and place names.
Publication details: Oxford: Oxbow Books, 1992
She really puts the boot into ideas of a 'Celtic' church as an
organizational structure. This is a preoccupation of hers and crops up also
in her *Wales in the Eatly Middle Ages*. On the other hand, Oliver Davies
from lampeter has argued (in *Celtic Christianity in Early Medieval Wales*)
for a common tradition of spirituality, at least between Ireland, Wales and
Britanny. But I think he would give the primacy to Wales ... Francine may
not agree here!
Looking at cults surrounding Jesus's feet, Michelle Sauer might also like
to consider the emblematic depictions of Christ's wounded feet as part of
representations of the Five Wounds, and the literature on what the wounds
in the feet specifically represented.
Best wishes
