The patron saint of Wales, founded a Celtic monastic community at Glyn Rhosyn, where St. David’s Cathedral still stands. The date of his death is believed to be the 1st March 589 AD. Due to this, the 1st March became a national festival, with Saint David becoming a national patron during the 12th century - a peak time of Welsh resistance to the Normans.
