Saint Paulinus ".Saint Paulinus of Wales was a late 5th century Welsh holyman, revered as a
saint inCarmarthenshire .Paulinus lived as a
hermit and teacher at a place usually identified as asWhitland (or "Hendy Gwyn ar Daf"). There he was the tutor of bothSaint David and Saint Teilo. He founded churches and chapels aroundLlandovery . He is said to have attended the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi in 545, where he nominated David to speak. A 6th century inscribed stone found atCaeo inCarmarthenshire , and now in theCarmarthen Museum , appears to honour him as "preserver of the faith, constant lover of his country, champion of righteousness". His feast day is 23 November.G. H. Doble thought he might be the same man as Saint Paul Aurelian.References
