St David
is the national patron saint of Wales. In the sixth century he founded several
monasteries. There is a cathedral now on the site of the first of them. He was
famous for his asceticism. He was a vegetarian, he abstained from meat and beer
- what great abstention! His monks weren't allowed to eat meat or drink beer
either. And they couldn't use oxen for ploughing their fields. The Welsh fought
against the Saxons. All the soldiers were similarly dressed. David advised the
Welsh, "wear a leek on your shoulder". Now the leek is a national "flower"
of Wales. The daffodil was adopted in the 19th century - more colourful and
less smelly! (But don't use daffodils in your soup!) St David was canonised in the
twelfth century.
