Defodau’r Adfent a’r Nadolig
Ysgrifenna'r Is-Ddeon:
I’r Eglwys, megis dechrau y mae’n dathlu o’r Dolig – ein llawenydd ar ganfod goleuni Crist yn llewyrchu yn ein plith. Mae tymor y Nadolig, yn wir, yn hwy na phedair wythnos yr Adfent, a byddwn yn gwisgo gwyn ac yn canu “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” tan Ddygwyl Fair y Canhwyllau ar Sul olaf Ionawr, pan fyddwn yn dathlu cyflwyniad Crist gan ei rieni yn y Deml. Mae’n ddisgyblaeth dda i ni gynnal y dathliad ysbrydol hwnnw yn ein bywydau a’n haddoliad – gan anrhydedd goleuni Crist ym mysg y tywyllwch sy’n dal i wasgu o’n cwmpas. Bydd ein perfformiad defosiynol o’r Ceremony of Carols o waith Benjamin Britten a Naw Llith a Charol y Canhwyllau yn ein helpu i barhau i ddathlu yn ystod y mis sydd i ddod.
Fodd bynnag, mae ein gwasanaeth i’n cymuned yn golygu bod ein dathliad o’r Nadolig yn eithaf aeddfed bellach, ac roedd wythnosau olaf yr Adfent a phenwythnos Dydd Nadolig yn gyfnod o weithgarwch llawen yn y Gadeirlan ac Eglwys y Groes. O’n Carolau ar Wib a’r Meseia, trwy ein Naw Llith, ac hyd at Wasanaeth y Preseb a’n Cymun Noswyl Nadolig a Dydd Nadolig, croesawyd dros 1,200 o bobl i’r Gadeirlan ac Eglwys y Groes – llawer ohonynt yn croesi’r trothwy ar gyfer y tro cyntaf, neu am y tro cyntaf ers cryn dipyn. Galwyd am waith caled ar draws teulu’r Gadeirlan a Bro Deiniol i’n galluogi i gynnig ein holl ddefodau’n groesawgar ac i safon mor uchel. Mae fy niolch i bawb am eu hymroddiad a’u gofal, ac mae gen i obeithion mawr am bopeth a ddaw dros y flwyddyn i ddod.
Nadolig llawen parhaus i chi, felly – a fy nymuniadau gorau ar gyfer Blwyddyn Newydd fendithiol.

Advent & Christmas observances
The Sub-Dean writes:
For the Church, the celebration of Christmas – our outpouring of joy at the light of Christ in our midst – has only just begun. The season of Christmastide is, indeed, longer that the four weeks of Advent, and we will wear white and sing “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” until the Festival of Candlemas on the last Sunday of January, when we celebrate Christ’s presentation by his parents at the Temple. It is a good discipline for us to maintain that spirit celebration in our lives and worship – an honouring of the light of Christ amid so much of the darkness that still presses round. Our devotional performance on Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols and our Nine Lessons & Carols of Candlemas will help us to continue to celebrate during the month ahead.
However, our service to our community means that our celebration of Christmas started a while ago, and the last few weeks of Advent and the weekend of Christmas Day were times of joyful business at the Cathedral and Eglwys y Groes. From our Carols with the Snowman and Messiah, by way of our Nine Lessons, and to our Crib Service and Eucharists of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we welcomed over 1,200 people to the Catherdral and Eglwys y Groes – many of whom crossed the threshold for the first time, or for the first time in quite a while. Hard work was called for across the Cathedral and Bro Deiniol family to enable all of our observances to be offered so welcomingly and to such a high standard. My thanks go to all for their devotion and care, and I have high hopes for all that will be over the year to come.
A continuing merry Christmas to you, and my best wishes for a blessed New Year.
