Stained and painted glass installed in 1991 in the 1100s Romanesque Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz at Saint-Cado, Brittany, France, honours Cado, the 500s AD early Christian Welsh missionary also known as Cadoc the Wise, Cadog or Cadocus. Below a portrait of the saint, a fisherman holds two large fish while a wife waits for a sailor’s return. The chapel stands on the Île de Saint-Cado, the circular islet in Ria d’Étel, the River Étel estuary in South Morbihan that became Cado’s temporary home.
