Celtic saint
Feast: 29 June (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Saint Gelert, also known as Celer, Celert, or Kellarth, was an early Celtic saint. Several locations in Wales are believed to bear his name. They include Beddgelert ("Gelert's grave") and the surrounding Gelert Valley and Llangeler ("Gelert's church"), where there is a church dedicated to him. Through the promotional efforts of an innkeeper in the early 1790s, St. Gelert, the human, has become much conflated with the legend of a saintly dog putatively from the same region, Gelert.
