<p>Churchloops: added info on feast day</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Flag of Saint David.png|thumb|Flag of Saint David]]'''Saint David''' (Welsh: ''Dewi Sant'') is the patron [[saint]] of [[Wales]]; his feast day is celebrated on 1st March.<br /> <br /> David was born around AD 500 (the precise date is unknown) and died in AD 589, the son of a regional king or sub-king, and educated St Paulinus of Wales. He achieved renown as a teacher and founded monastic settlements in Wales, [[Cornwall]] and [[Brittany]]. The communities he practiced asceticism: monks, not animals, pulled the ploughs on the fields they; personal possessions were forbidden; they could only drink; meat-eating was not allowed. David's symbol - the [[leek]] (which is also a symbol of Wales) - is a reflection of this simplicity.<br /> <br /> The monastery founded by David Rhoslyn on the coast of [[Pembrokeshire]], and where he was buried after death on 1 March 589, took the name; it is still the site of a cathedral and claims to be the smallest city in the [[United Kingdom]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> [[Llanddewi Brefi]]<br /> <br /> ==Further Information==<br /> http://www.saintdavid.org.uk/<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:David, Saint}}<br /> [[Category:Wales]]<br /> [[Category:Saints]]</div>
