Life
Venerable Edi is honoured at Llanedi in Carmarthenshire, whose church was supposed to be dedicated to a Saint Edith; the date of 16 September given in some sources is, however, the feast of the English Edith of Wilton, which hardly seems credible in the heart of Wales. Local tradition speaks of a man named Edi, of great stature, whose cave, Ogof Gwyl Edi, lies within a quarter of a mile of the church. The old fair of the place is held on 8 November. The writer who preserves this judges the legend a pagan myth Christianized. Edi is venerated in the undivided Church.
