Saint David, also known as Dewi Sant in Welsh, was a prominent Welsh bishop and patron saint of Wales. He is believed to have been born in the 6th century in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and was educated at the monastery of Hen Fynyw. After his ordination, he founded a number of monastic communities throughout Wales, including the famous monastery at Glastonbury.

Saint David was renowned for his piety, wisdom, and his ability to perform miracles. He is credited with a number of miraculous healings, including curing a blind man and bringing a child back to life. He was also a champion of Welsh independence, and is said to have played a role in securing Welsh autonomy from the English.
