Life
Saint Gwynin was one of the twelve sons of Helig ab Glanog of Tyno Helig in north Wales, whose land the sea overwhelmed; part of it now lies under the Lavan Sands. The sons became saints at Bangor Fawr in Maelor (Bangor-on-Dee), and some then went to Bardsey. They lived about the middle of the sixth century. Gwynin had brothers named Bodo and Brothen. He is patron of two churches in Caernarfonshire, Llandygwynin (Llandegwning) and Dwygyfylchi.
His traditional commemoration is on 31 December.
