Dewi Sant/Saint David Patron of Wales

Description

Mae Mawrth y 1af yn Ddydd Gwyl Dewi, diwrnod cenedlaethol y Cymry, ac fe’i dethlir oddi ar y ddeuddegfed ganrif. Felly pwy oedd Dewi Sant? Mae llawer o’r hyn a wyddom am Ddewi yn deillio o fywgraffiad a ysgrifennwyd tua 1090 gan Rhygyfarch. Dyma lyfr newydd yn olrhain cefndir a threftadaeth yr Apostol o Gymru, sy’n dal yn berthnasol ar gyfer heddiw.
March the 1st is St David’s Day, the national day of Wales and has been celebrated as such since the twelfth century. So who was St David (or Dewi Sant in Welsh)? Much of what we know about St David comes from a biography written around 1090 by Rhygyfarch, a clerk of St David’s. This new book traces the background and heritage of this Apostle of Wales, still relevant for today.
