Square graphic with a blue background. The Church in Wales Celtic cross logo is in the top left-hand corner, and there is a picture of a saint on the right-hand side. The text reads as follows: "Saint Euddogwy. Feast day: 2nd July. Dydd Gwyl: 2ed Gorffenaf. St. Euddogwy, also known as St. Oudoceus, was the third Bishop of Llandaff, and lived in the 7th century. Little was known about his life or his family, but his episcopal reign was likely to be around 650-700 CE. Euddogwy Sant, a elwid hefyd yn Oudoceus Sant, oedd Esgob cyntaf Llandaf, ac roedd yn byw yn y 7fed Ganrif. Ychydig a wyddom am ei fywyd na’i deulu, ond mae’n debyg iddo fod yn esgob o amgylch 650-700 OG." Square graphic with a blue background. The Church in Wales Celtic cross logo is in the top left-hand corner, and there is a map of Wales with Llandeilo and Llandaff both highlighted on the right-hand side. The text reads as follows: "One legend tells how he removed a number of relics of St. Teilo and his disciples from Llandeilo to Llandaff. The men of Llandeilo were not happy, and ambushed his party in a rocky pass at Penallt. Through Euddogwy's prayers, the attackers immediately became blind and unable to move. Dywed un chwedl sut y symudodd nifer o greiriau Teilo Sant a’i ddisgyblion o Landeilo i Landaf. Nid oedd dynion Llandeilo yn hapus ac fe wnaethant ymosod ar ei osgordd ar fwlch creigiog ym Mhenanallt. Drwy weddïau Euddogwy, cafodd yr ymosodwyr eu dallu ar unwaith a methu symud." Square graphic with a blue background. The Church in Wales Celtic cross logo is in the top left-hand corner, and there is Llandaff's coat of arms on the right-hand side. The text reads as follows: "He retired to Llandogo, and died there on July 2nd, which is his feast day. He was supposedly buried at the church in Llandaff, on the site of the present Llandaff Cathedral, where there was a shrine to him until 1547. He is one of the three saints to whom the cathedral is dedicated. Symudodd i Landdogo a bu farw ar 2 Gorffennaf, ei ddygwyl. Y sôn oedd iddo gael ei gladdu yn yr eglwys yn Llandaf, ar y safle lle mae Cadeirlan Llandaf ar hyn o bryd, a roedd cysegr iddo yno tan 1547. Mae’n un o dri sant y cafodd y gadeirlan ei chysegru iddynt." Square graphic with a blue background. The Church in Wales Celtic cross logo is in the top left-hand corner, and there is a picture of St. Oudoceus church with the Monmouth Diocese's logo on the left-hand side. The text reads as follows: "There aren't many places in Wales named after him, since he is not very well-known. However, there is the Church of St Oudoceus, Llandogo in Monmouth Marches Ministry Area, Monmouth Diocese. Nid oes llawer o leoedd yng Nghymru wedi ei enwi ar ei ôl , gan nad yw’n adnabyddus iawn. Fodd bynnag, mae Eglwys Oudoceus Sant, Llandogo yn Ardal Gweinidogaeth Gororau Mynwy, Esgobaeth Mynwy."
