St Davids is one of the great historic shrines of Christendom.

 ST DAVIDS
Revered as one of the major places of pilgrimage in the Western world for over 1200 years, St Davids cathedral is situated in a sheltered valley close to the south-west tip of the Pembrokeshire coast in South Wales.
The earliest reference to St. David is in an 8th century book written at Tallaght,ln Ireland, which reads that they 'kept the feast day of David of Cille Muni', (the cell or church of Menevia), on March 1st.
Pope Calixtus 11, (1119-24), canonised St. David, and declared that Two pilgrimages to Menevia were equal to one pilgrimage to Rome', thus ensuring the Saint's popularity with medieval pilgrims.
