The topic of allergies has become routine in our lives, and certainly most everyone has an idea of what an allergy is. An allergy is an abnormal reaction by a person's immune system against a normally harmless substance. A person without allergies would have no reaction to this substance, but when a person who is allergic encounters the trigger, the body reacts by releasing chemicals which cause allergy symptoms.
Definition of eisteddfod. plural. eisteddfods. play \Ä«-Ësteth-ËvoÌdz, Ä-\ or. eisteddfodau. play \Ä«-Ësteth-ËvoÌ-ËdÄ«, Ä-\. : a usually Welsh competitive festival of the arts especially in poetry and singing.
In Medieval times, Welsh bards and minstrels would assemble together for an eisteddfod (the Welsh word for session) of poetry and music competition. Over time, participation and interest in these competitions lessened, and by the 17th century an eisteddfod was far from the courtly affair it once was.
