Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, was a 6th-century bishop. Legends attribute numerous miracles to him, and he is often depicted with a dove. He founded many churches and his shrine at Saint David's became a significant pilgrimage destination. St. David's Day, March 1st, is widely celebrated in Wales.2
