Tegla

Venerable Tegla (Thecla) is an obscure Welsh saint, listed in Baring-⁠Gould's Lives of the British Saints. She is the patron of the parish church of Llandegla (Llandegla-⁠yn-⁠Iâl) in Wales, which was most probably originally dedicated to a Welsh virgin named Tegla Forwyn, "Thecla the Virgin", not the far better-⁠known Saint Thecla, the first female martyr. The Welsh saint is obscure, and the patronal festival at Llandegla has been held, since at least the early twentieth century, on the feast of the foreign saint. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
