From the Roman Martyrology for today, 1 March:

“At Menevia in Wales, the bishop Saint David, who, following the example and customs of the Eastern Fathers, founded a monastery, from which many monks went out to evangelise Wales, Ireland, Cornwall and Brittany.”

This mosaic of St David, patron saint of Wales, is in Westminster Cathedral in London, and it was blessed by Pope Benedict in 2010. The artist is Ifor Davies.
