The Heritage and Destiny team – two of whom have Welsh ancestry – wish all our readers a very Happy St David’s Day!
Born on a Pembrokeshire clifftop during a fierce storm in 500 AD, St David – grandson of the King of Ceredigion – became a renowned preacher and founded several monasteries, including (by some accounts) the abbey at Glastonbury as well as the original settlement which is now St Davids Cathedral in his native Wales.
2022 saw a surge in Welsh patriotism, partly linked to the World Cup. Despite the results in that tournament (!) and despite all difficulties that Welsh patriots and our fellow Europeans face in 2024, we should take heart from the words of St David’s final sermon before his death aged 89: “Be joyful, keep the faith”!
