Summary

Description
English: Near the RNLI Lifeboat centre at Sant Stinan (Engl. translation - St Justinian's), 1 km West of Tyddewi (St David's), Sir Penfro, Wales. St Stinan was a Bretton monk, who came to Wales. was a Breton nobleman who settled on the island of Ramsey as a hermit. He was visited by Saint David who was so impressed with his holiness that he made him his confessor and Abbot of St David's Cathedral. However, Justinian became disillusioned with the poor attitude of the monks at St Davids and took himself away the short distance to remote Ramsey Island to establish a more holy spiritual community. His more loyal monks followed him. Legend has it that he was eventually murdered by some disgruntled servants or monks fed up with his strict regime, it is said by beheading him. Apparently he picked up his head and crossed Ramsey Sound walking on the water carrying his head in his arms and his body was buried in the small ruined chapel which still stands on the mainland at St Justinian's, immediately opposite his island home; his bones are believed to rest in St Davids Cathedral.
