The legendary 'miracle' rings of Ourense - BBC REEL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- An ancient legend in Galicia, Spain, tells of nine medieval bishops who made vows of poverty in the monastery of Santo Estevo. After their death, their nine rings were believed to have miraculous healing powers.
For centuries there was a pilgrimage to the monastery to heal all kinds of diseases. However, over time the rings were lost without trace and they became little more than a myth.
Centuries later, authour María Oruña researched these legendary rings, and used them as inspiration for her novel The Forest of the Four Winds. In an extraordinary turn of events, in almost exactly the location María had described in her story, an astonishing discovery was made that could turn legend into reality.

Can we get a full length documentary on this subject? Absolutely fascinating, I would love to hear more.
Google? Or you want someone to chew for you five minutes of info into full lenght one hour film and feed it to you? Idiocracy.
@@yanikkunitsin1466 We've filled thousands of hours and pages up with the most mundane topics because even the simplest things are rich with intricacies. Just because you find this topic not worth hearing more than 5 minutes doesn't mean others wouldn't find great value from a full documentary if the filmmakers did good work and didn't just provide mindless filler for 2 hours.
@@Shamanized oh, but that's exactly how they do network docs nowadays. 5 min of real info, 55 min of filler, reiteration and regurgitation.
Personaly, I watch Horizons docs from 80s and early 90s on archive now, because they are exact opposite of that Discovery, History channel and sadly modern BBC сrар. If Lucy Worsley would do doc about the 80s - it would be her trying to solve Rubik's cube for 55 minutes. I'm not saying it's not entertaining but I wouldn't call it a documentary.
@@yanikkunitsin1466 Ah I see, yeah a lot of current longer form doc productions do need to step up on their quality
@@yanikkunitsin1466 yes i remember those horizon programs i was young maybe 9 or 10 mid 80,s onwards but we as kids used enjoy watching the programs but yes docs like these are not long enough

This is amazing and the first thing that came to mind was JRR Tolkien and the use of rings. Tolkien was a master of ancient languages and history and he no doubt knew of this legend and adapted it to his stories, especially the part where the kings had rings. In the movie, the kings raise their rings at the same time as they make their oaths.
Yes! That was my first thought too - JRR Tolkien's 9 rings of power. There had to be a reason why he chose precisely 9. Very interesting video.
Me too! The Nine!
"In the movie, the kings raise their rings at the same time as they make their oaths."
aaaaannndd that's where you lost me.
Christopher Tolkien said it pretty well - his father would barely have recognised the films in many places because they took pains to play up drama and action over many other elements in the novels.
Did that make for more entertaining films?
Sure it did - I've read enough of Tolkien to know that adapting his faithfully would probably make it hard to gain success in the film medium.
BUT...... that also means it's highly branching from the source material.

I am from this Beautiful city called Ourense or “Auriense” city of gold”in the Roman age ,this city is situated in the community of Galicia where we also have Santiago de Compostela and other beautiful and mysterious places may I say we are descendants of celts Galician Celtics
But they were all of them decieved, for another ring was made....

I noticed, I'm a fan of LOTRs and JRR Tolkien's novel.
In fact, JRR Tolkien made his novels based on myths/legends/tales and old languages in Europe, even inspired by bible.

I love this. Would love to know more about this monastery and the bishops themselves. Thank you so very much.
For $50 I'll send you all the info you need
How about google it yourself?
Three rings for the elven kings under the sky.
Seven for the dwarves lords in their halls of stone.
Nine for mortal men, doomed to die.
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
my sentiments exactly
This is so interesting and I'm going to check out Maria's novel. I have been to Ourense as I have relatives living in a village in Galicia and catch the bus from the city.
If I ever get back there, Pandemic has put a stop to my next planned trip to Spain, I want to visit the Monastery.
Hopefully, your wish will come true! AMEN.🌙🔔💣

Yes it s nicer to know more about the stories and legends behind the rings.
I love this kinda stories! Keep it up BBC Reel!!
I want that book, "The Forest of the Four Winds" by María Oruña.
I think I have a spare copy.
@@deltanovember1672 My intent is to see which parts are cribbed.
@@deltanovember1672 Is it translated into English? Genuine query, have looked on Amazon but can only find novels under her name all in Spanish, which I neither speak nor read or in German which I sort of speak but not well enough to read a book in. Even the title would help because while I assume the books under the name Maria Oruna are the same writer there are several different titles and cover images. Many thanks.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful part of Spanish Culture!
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them.
I'm from Spain and I never heard anything about that....,love it
I like how in the end she told about the paradox of science and miracle
Genius .
Beautiful and divine
There is no paradox. One is science and one is BS.
@@yanikkunitsin1466 can you not?
Another way to categorize the BS of miracles is the incredible power of the placebo effect.
There's also the simple fact that she's wrong. If the rings did have some curative properties, that could be proven by science. I see no reason to think they would, but if they worked consistently better than a placebo, there would be something to study. Science doesn't ignore reality. Faith too often does.
NINE rings?
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
NINE FOR MORTAL MEN, DOOMED TO DIE
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
"For withing these rings was bound the strenght and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others." I couldn't contain myself.
It is interesting to know some legend are partially true, and have some real historical value in it
Most are, if not all. I think You might be confusing legends and myths
I wonder if Tolkien got his inspiration for the 9 rings in LOTR from this.
I was just wondering exactly the same... and since it is pretty obvious that Tolkien based the characters and settings of LOTR from many legends and mithologies of diverse origins, it is plausible that he knew about this legend :-)
I just wrote the same thing!!! lol
no he did not, he got his inspiration from a much more interesting ring that was lost by a Roman and stolen by a thief nearly 2000 years ago. Evidence, in the form of a written curse was found when excavating a Roman temple at Lidney in the UK, and the ring was found a hundred miles away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Silvianus
@@kc3718 That's so interesting!! Thanks for sharing!!
@@JurlysEcke interesting things should be shared. I happen to live near the Lonely Mountain too ( or at least the hill that inspired the one in LoTR) !
Good report. Interesting story.. Thanks from Ourense, Galicia, Spain, just close to that monastery :-)
Close to the monastery? you took the other 5 rings!
Highly Suspect!
I love Ourense and Galicia. Hopefully I will return one day.
Legend has it that part of my family left a long time ago from "A Mezquita", Ourense, Galicia, Spain.
No idea if that is even a town, but I found this video and was like Ourense exists? ... Maybe A Mezquita does too? Or maybe is just a random mosque there? Who knows...
@@PRDreams a mezquita is a mosque. That's all that is. Maybe there used to be one (or even still is)?
they look like very humble rings for a medieval bishop.
Does say in the beginning they took vows of poverty
I think Bishop's looked different back then. now they all look like Liberace.🧚♂️
precious stones were hard to come by those days... jade was valuable in the east cause chinese believe it repelled evil spirits.. travel was long and hard too, took months to cross over an ocean.. a single jade ring getting from china to spain would take months of travel
Excellent! Now we need to find the 7 dwarf rings and three elven rings. Any ideas? Anyone?
They're behind the Declaration of independence and The One is held by the Pope. JFK, who was Catholic, learned about it and look what happened.

Amazing story. Thanks for posting
I never heard of these relics.
I'll keep an open mind to the miraculous healings. I never deny the divine as an explanation.

The 9 rings of Tolkien are in Celtic Spain.
You have evidence of this extraordinary claim?
Amazing discovery and thank you for sharing this. I love historical writings and investigations such as this
El número nueve también es relevante en el mundo templario, pues nueve son los escalones de la Catedral de Chartres, nueve es la suma de 1314, el año que murió el último gran maestre templario, nueve fueron los fundadores del Temple, etc
Chartres Cathedral is amazing.
Oh my.

Yet ... you are right now on a right track.
One of many tracks.
"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"
I was just thinking about this.
Bang on. You said it. Wisdom
Wonderful story of legend and histor! I love watching stories like these? Is this a full length docu? Id like to buy the book written by Maria.
"9 rings for mortal Men, doomed to die" yeah Tolkien I see what you did there

How cool, thank you❤
This story shud be on NETFLIX!! So interesting .. love it !
shud??????
Netflix? The child-abuse-promoters? I doubt they'd care.
Nine rings to heal them all. Nine rings to bring them all in the .... and bind them.
LOL I just made a similar comment. It's almost impossible to watch this without thinking of that.
Cool. Nice research. Cheers for the story, Beeb.
I can’t wait for them to find the one ring to rule them all
Magical story 🤩
Great video, thank you for sharing.

What is the book called? This is such an amazing story
The forest of the four winds - it’s in the description 🤗
The film...."The Lord of the rings" ?
fantastic story!

@@MrRodicio Thank you so much from America!
Muito obrigado! Sabe dizer por que não falam galego?
Great story!
I guess Tolkien probably knew about these. 😁
Fantastic. What a joy to watch.
The story is interesting and I am intrigued by its similarity to lord of the rings, but the rings just showing up exactly where she predicted along with a torn piece of parchment that said only exactly what she needed it to say to confirm her story and gain interest? Not mentioning at all if the parchment and rings were analysed or the results but instead discrediting science at the end and saying "it's more satisfying if i don't tell you"? The story was interesting enough, but that stuff was planted.
If they suspected at all it could be real, they'd have had professionals appraise the authenticity and age of the items and they would have included that credibility in their spiel. I smell a publicity stunt, which is a shame to tarnish the otherwise interesting story with. I think it would have been more interesting to think they'd all been stolen and were scattered in unknown places of the world.
One was a dark opal
Looks like one was turquoise, too.
Imagine where the other rings are or who has them?
One ring to rule them all
After all that, no closeups of each ring. No closeup of the note. No photo of the bag.
And one ring, to rule them all. And in the darkness bind them.
So.....does the quest for the other five continue?
Why do i think that the materials rings themselves had nothing to do with the healing but the bishops weren't bishops but some extraterrestrial souls who can heal? They came down to earth congregated at that monastery and worked a lot to pass on something (knowledge, written work, legends) to the future.
Waiting for them to find the one ring that rule them all
Where are the other five? She must write a sequel so we can find them! Then the healing powers may return.
Excellent.
"Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die" - I wonder if the bishops became Nazgûl?
I knew everyone would be in the comments going on about LOTR
I saw that thumbnail and instantly thought of Lord of the Rings

... and the other rings ? Surely there are leads , even if it's only the era in which they disappeared...
Wow 😲 son 9 anillos mágicos, que curaban, esa era la creencia, y si existen
Einstein said,imagination was way more valuable, than knowledge or science.
Wasn't it instinct?
I believe the Einstein quotation goes, _"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."_
@@changeshifter4852 "the intuitive mind is a sacred gift." Is the quote I was thinking of.

Magical rings? Hmmm, where have I heard that before? In just about every supernatural tale that has ever been written!
WOW amazing stuff! 😍❤️
Now I can't sleep wondering where's the 5 rings. 🧐😩
Has anyone checked the Shire?
thank god, Thanos doesnt know about this ring
I recommend travelling to Galicia where you will have many years to discover and enjoy the Magic of my land

Its okay, we only have 4 ring slots anyway, these rings would make the ultimate faith build.
They were rings men wore who had paintings of them showing their ring. Nothing more
Why Science can't answer somethings like miracles it's because it's not advanced enough by us to answer them
There's was a time when we didn't know many things like how the world came to be ,why fire is hot , why do we fall not float ,why do we die naturally , etc yet now we know all of them
Similarly we will also answer the rest of question as our understanding of laws of the universe and our science advances
As a Christian missionary who has seen belief in Jesus do a lot, I can say that the little speech the woman gives at the end of this video is closer to the truth than she probably knows. The rings themselves do not hold the power of God within them, people's faith when in their presence does. If the people who lived in the time of these priests that were present believed God could use them to heal others, and the priests believed it themselves, and no non-believers or others who were not meant to see the miracles were present, then God could definitely channel his Holy Spirit though these men (and after through those monks who inherited the rings) to heal. God is real, bless you all.
The life of this world is nothing but a passtime and a game.

No such thing as holy spirit, god is only one, jesus is a prophet, read the quran and learn about islam. As jesus once said ; shalom alaikum (peace be onto you).
@@aa.r2588 When Allah speaks to you, that is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the supreme spirit reality. To deny this is to deny the call of Allah.
You should read the Bible and convert to the Catholic Christian faith. God is a whole and everything is made up of The Holy Spirit (God's call to faith to his believers), Jesus Christ (he is the son of God and therefore an extension of God on Earth and therefore is God) and God (God the Father). In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
@@dfernandezb82 Surah Al-Ikhlas in English :
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “He is God, the One.
2. God, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.”
This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates.
This chapter of the Quran is about the oneness of God. The concept of God has been presented here in its purest form, ridding it of all polluting associations which people of every age have brought to it. There is no plurality of gods. There is only one God. All are dependent upon Him, but He is not dependent on anybody. He Himself has power over everything. He is far above being the progeny of anybody or having any offspring. He is such a unique being that there is nobody like Him or equal to Him in any manner whatsoever.
The doctrine of God’s pure unity, or The Divine oneness, is clearly stated here: God is not many , He is only One. Everyone is in need of Him ,but He is not in need of anyone. He reigns over all things of the heavens and the earth. Unlike human beings , He has no son or father. He is eternal ,without beginning or end, and is thus a Unique Being who has no equal.
@@aa.r2588 He is the father
He is the son
He is Holy Spirit

Don't put into a gauntlet and snap your fingers, we've all seen how that ends up
This is super interesting however also super sus that FOUR rings showed up right after the released her novel about them 🤨
She should be canonised
*The Legend of the 9 Rings*
"And they were fooled, for a tenth ring was made"
Where's that 4th stone! Seriously hard to find good help!
@k c The wiki article about the Vyne Ring may not be a correct reference, as it is about 1 ring and not 9 rings. The reference to Tolkien using the Vyne Ring as the One Ring to Rule Them All is ambiguous. This discussion is about 9 rings, which were the 9 rings given to the Kings of Men in the Hobbit and LOTR. Here is more about the rings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Power
So back then people would believe almost anything, kind of like now.
Yeas, but these days people are much more stupid because we have more information at hand than those back then.
Seems like people used to just belive whatever. The church has been walking all over people for years
@@chrisstrebor same for all religions, some more than others such as the so called religion of peace.
this is such an interesting story!
Science and logic can explain everything we can’t see the answers beacause we are not looking in the right direction
"Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die"
The remaining rings are kept with the holy grail and Cleopatra's eggs.
Nine rings!? You gotta be kidding me. Next thing the one to bind them all will show up….
So the bishops died, but their rings have healing powers. That doesn’t sound right given their rings didn’t save them.
Bishops aren’t interested in the material world. The whole point is to go to heaven. They wouldn’t have wanted to live forever.
Faith taps the power of the universe or God, to create what we call miracles.
She said this at the very end.
And I disagree with her that science cannot explain miracles. Science can and is getting closer to explaining miracles every day.
So hold on to your cosmic hats. We are awakening.
Agreed. 100%
Keep ppl posted on this story and whether any more rings were found. It looks like there rings are of silver rather than gold, which is interesting in itself.
