Life
Saint Garai (Garrai) is said, by the Iolo manuscripts, to be a son of Cewydd ab Caw and a monk of Bangor, counted among the saints of Morgannwg and Gwent. He is reputed founder of the Glamorgan church of Llanarrai (Llanharry), now dedicated to Saint Illtyd. He may be the same as Gwrhai or Gwrai, son of Caw. No other facts are kept. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
