The annual public ceremony of the Gorsedd of Brittany or Goursez Vreizh (1) took place at Brasparzh in the Saint-Kaduan stone circle (2).
Were invited, as every year, delegates of both the other gorseddau. Came this year from over the Channel the Archdruid of Wales, Jim Parc Nest (3), from the Gorsedd Beirdd Ynis Prydain (4) and Maureen Fuller (5), Grand Bard of the Gorsedh Kernow (6), since 2013.
Today the Grand Druid Per Vari Kerloc'h (7) sends this message:
Thanks again to all persons attending for this beautiful and noble yesterday.
Down here, in PDF, his Breton speech on the maen log, the stone in the center of the circle.
