There's an old saying: There are more saints in Cornwall than in Heaven. Cornwall has three patron saints: Piran, Michael and Petroc. We could celebrate three times a year! We see their names in place names, sometimes in Cornish, from time to time in English. But who was Petroc? His feast day, St Petroc's Day, was yesterday. Pedrog was born in Wales, the youngest son of a king. After education in Ireland he came to Cornwall (the River Camel). The place is now called Padstow, Pedrog's place (Saint Wethnoc was there before him). He spent many years in Cornwall and founded churches and monasteries, but also spent years in other countries. He came home from India with a wolf.
