Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus” “Happy St. David’s Day” My interest in St david began with the dove on his shoulder… maybe not surprisingly The most famous miracle associated with St David took place when he was preaching to a large crowd in Llanddewi Brefi. When people complained that they could not hear him, the ground on which he stood rose up to form a hill. A white dove settled on his shoulder. Legend states he was the son of Sant, King of Ceredigion and a nun called Nonnita. He was born more than 15 centuries ago on the Pembrokeshire cliffs during a ‘fierce storm’. He became a monk at a young age and founded a monastery where St David's Bishop's Palace and the Cathedral are now built. He was made an archbishop later in life and died on March 1, 589 AD when he was 100 years old.. His final words to the community of monks were: "Brothers be ye constant. The yokewhich with single mind ye have taken, bear ye to the end; and whatsoever ye have seen with me and heard, keep and fulfil." . #anthrozoology #stdavidsday
