Welsh Eisteddfod 1906
Is it Peace? Ceremony of the sword, a remarkable impressive observance. A huge sword is upraised and partly unsheathed. The attendants bards having just placed hands on it, the Arch Druid partly supports it cries: " A oes Heddwch?" (" Is it Peace?" ) from the people comes the loud response, " Heddwch" (It is Peace?" ), this is repeated, the sword is then thrust back into its scabbard, the ceremony symbolises a truce and has come down from acient times, when it was necessary to guard against the breaking of Bardic Circle by armed men.
