The Legacy of St David.

The Legacy of St David.

1 March 2017

As we celebrated St David's day with the traditional daffodils, flags and even sheep, our residents were fascinated to hear some of the traditional facts that surround this day steeped in history. Today, St David's church stands on the top of a hill in the county of Pembrokeshire. The dove became St David's emblem and often appears on his portraits and stained glass windows. Churches and chapels dedicated to David are found not just in Wales but also in south-west England and Brittany. David's influence also spread to Ireland, where the Irish embraced his beliefs about caring for the natural world.
His final words to his followers were: "Do the little things, the small things you've seen me doing." These words still inspire many people today.
