* St. Deiniol the Younger of Bangor

St. Deiniol the Younger of Bangor, Wales
(Dayniol, Deyniolen, Daniel)
-----------------------------------------------
Died 621. Saint Deiniol was abbot of Bangor at the time of the
slaughter of his monks and the destruction of their monastery by King
Ethelfrid of Northumbria in 616. The saint appears to have escaped the
massacre (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Deiniol the Younger tone 8
Being preserved from martyrdom at the hands of the warlike Ethelfrid,/
thou didst persevere in thy missionary labours, O Father Deiniol./
Wherefore we entreat thee to pray to God for us/ that, being firm in the
faith, we may be found worthy of His great mercy.
