		David died on March 1st in 589 AD and he was canonised in 1120; his feast has been celebrated on the anniversary of his death ever since.

		David went on to many missionary works and founding of monasteries, including his well known Mynyw/Menevia of southwestern Wales which was noted for severe asceticism (harshness and severity of self discipline) based in Egyptian monk practices.
		It could be that herein lies the real use David may have had for leeks, as their harsh life-style certainly could have benefited from some healing agent for their hands which would have suffered from their labors.

	Saint David the man, and Saint David's Cathedral and city.
		The first real written accounts relating to St David himself were scribed by Rhigyfarch (a son of the then Bishop of St David’s), and the year is thought to be 1090, so a period of some 500 years elapsed before any serious account of his life was set to parchment.
		Born at Menevia (St David’s) in Pembrokeshire, he was the son of King Sant of South Wales, his mother was St Non (Nonna), legend has it that Non was a nun and that she was defiled by King Sant, hence the birth of David!
		David founded or restored some twelve monasteries; one of those that he founded was at the site of the current Cathedral of St David’s, Pembrokeshire.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. David
		The saint's mother was Nonna, or Nonnita (sometimes called Melaria), a daughter of Gynyr of Caergawch.
		David journeyed throughout the West, founding or restoring twelve monasteries (among which occur the great names of Glastonbury, Bath, and Leominster), and finally settled in the Vale of Ross, where he and his monks lived a life of extreme austerity.
		David was with difficulty persuaded to accompany them; on his way he raised a widow's son to life, and at the synod preached so loudly, from the hill that miraculously rose under him, that all could hear him, and so eloquently that all the heretics were confounded.

	St David's Day
		It must be considered that Rhigyfarch was the son of the Bishop of St David's, and that the Life was written as propaganda to establish Dewi's superiority and defend the bishopric from being taken over by Canterbury and the Normans.
		St David's Cathedral became a popular centre of pilgrimage, particularly after Dewi was officially recognised as a Catholic saint in 1120.
		The Flag of St David is associated with Wales and appears in a variety of forms, a gold field with a fl cross or a fl field with a gold cross - the cross sometimes being engrailed.
