Welsh saints

Christianity

Wales

Saints from Wales, or who lived in Wales.

Prior to the 8th Century AD, churches in Wales were named for the monk who consecrated them by observing a 40-day fast on the site, and these founders became de facto saints. In later centuries, saints were recognised through the authority of the Holy See.^[1]
