Some time ago I was in the neighbourhood of Camelford (a small town in

Cornwall), and inquiring the name of a church I saw in the distance, was

told that its name was _Advent_, though it was generally called _Saint

Teen_. Now _Teen_ in Cornish = to light. Can this name have been applied

from any peculiar ceremonies observed here during Advent?
