March 1, 589 AD, the Bishop of Menevia in Wales, today known as Saint David, died.
The Welsh celebrate Saint David's Day to honor the man who established Christianity within the Welsh kingdom. He is the Bishop responsible for the strict rules of monks, known as The Monastic Rule of David. In these rules, Bishop David decreed that monks had to pull the plow themselves and subsist on bread and water seasoned with salt and herbs. Their evenings were spent in prayer, reading, and writing.
His last words were, "Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed, and do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about. I will walk the path that our fathers have trod before us."
"Do ye the little things in life" is the abbreviated version and a popular saying in Welsh today.
Bishop David was declared a saint in 1120 by Pope Callixtus II.
