释义

  1. References

Saint Cyngar was a 5th-century Catholic pre-congregational saint. He is the Patron Saint of Llangefni, Anglesey, in Wales, and a founding member of St. Cybi's Monastery at Holyhead, Anglesey.

Born around 488 AD, he was the son of King Gerren Llyngesog of Dumnonia. As a mature man, he became a follower of his nephew, St. Cybi Felyn, whom he accompanied to Edeligion in South Wales where they built churches in Llangybi-upon-Usk and Llanddyfrwyr-yn-Edeligion before King Glywys of Glywysing forced them to leave.[1] They then went to the island of Aran Mor in Ireland where they spent 4 years building churches,[2] after which they moved to the Llŷn Peninsula at Cricieth.

They finally established an important monastery at Holyhead, Anglesey,[3] from where Cyngar founded the church at Llangefni.

He died on 7 November of an unknown year in the mid-6th century (probably 550 AD) and he was buried in Llangefni.[4]
