His labours for the promulgation of Christianity were among the Britons ; and he retired, at length to solitude and penance in the Isle of Wight. Heie he lived upon the simplest fare, and became famed for his sanctity and learning—acquirements which rendered him a powert^ul opponent to the heresies of his age ; to oppose which he readily came forth from his retirement. Finally, he was raised to the Archbishopric of Caer- leon (now St. David's},' and died in 544. It is impossible to assign a positive reason for the leek being worn by Welchmen on this day; but St. David, who, like all the early ecclesiastics, was fond of gar- dening, and the only introducers of new vegetables, may have first made his Welch flock acquainted with this native of the south of Europe. St. Chad, first Bishop of Lichfield, died in 673. It is an old verse:— *' First comes David—nest comes Chad, Then comes the wind as though it were ; Perpetua, a Roman virgin, was martyred by order of the Emperor Severus, in the year 205.
