Snowdon from Capel Curig

Snowdon from Capel Curig

Capel Curig takes its name from St. Julitta’s Church in the ancient graveyard by the river bridge on the Llanberis road.  Tradition claims this chapel to be the 6th-century foundation of St Curig, a Celtic bishop. Centuries later, probably when the present ancient church was built, the name appears to have been Latinised as Cyricus, which is the name of a 4th-century child martyr whose mother was Julitta. They are usually named together as Saints Quiricus and Julietta.  Does that help explain?  This is unused J. Salmon card *1037, showing its age but still clean enough for Grade: 1
