Saint Paternus of Wales, also known as Padarn, born around 482 AD in Brittany, was a 6th-century monk and bishop who became a cornerstone of Welsh Christianity. Fleeing Armorica’s unrest, he crossed to Wales, founding the Monastery of Llanbadarn Fawr around 516 AD, where he served as its first bishop. A missionary among the Celtic Britons, he traveled with saints like David and Teilo, confronting kings—legend claims he restored sight to Maelgwn Gwynedd after cursing him for theft. Known for his piety and leadership, he died around 550 AD, leaving a lasting ecclesiastical hub in Ceredigion. | Saint Paternus of Wales, also known as Padarn, born around 482 AD in Brittany, was a 6th-century monk and bishop who became a cornerstone of Welsh Christianity.
