St. David is described by the ancient Welsh author, Giraldus. as being "a mirror and a pattern to all, instructing both by word and example, excellent in his preaching, but still' more so in his works. He was a doctrine to all, a guide to his religion, a life to the poor, a support to orphans, a protection to widows, a father to the fatherland, a rule to monks, and a model to teachers; becoming all to all, that so he might gain all to God." « St. David is said to have been uncle to King Arthur. He first embraced the ascetic life in the Isle of Wight, but

subsequently removed to Menevia, in Pembrokeshire, where he founded 12 monasteries. Becoming Archbishop to Caerleon in A.D. 577. this saintly man lived to the remarkable age of 14b, his death taking place in A.D. 642. The leek worn by Welshmen on this day is in memory of a complete victory obtained by them over the Saxons (March 1. 640). This victory is ascribed "to the prayers of St. David, and his judicious adoption of a leek in the cap, that the Britons might readily recognise each other.
