David,
Bishop. Patron Saint of Wales.
Feast Day
1st March.
David
(Dewi) is believed to have been born in South Wales towards the end of the 6th
Century.
Tradition
attributes the foundation of ten monasteries to him, the most important being
Menevia in Dyfed.
These
communities were noted for the austerity and prayer practised by the monks, in
accord with that of the Egyptian hermits. By the 12th Century pilgrims
journeyed to his shrine at Menevia.
He was
noted for his persuasive eloquence and it is said that at the church synod in
Cardigan which elected him head of the Welsh Church a white dove descended on
his shoulder as he preached.
His last recorded words were said to be:
“Be joyful brothers, and sisters. Keep your faith and do the little things that
you have seen and heard with me.”
