Who is Saint Gelert?
Saint Gelert, also known as Celer, Celert or Kellarth, was an early Celtic saint. Several locations in Wales are believed to bear his name. They include Beddgelert and the surrounding Gelert Valley and Llangeler where there is a church dedicated to him. Through the promotional efforts of an innkeeper in the early 1790s, St. Gelert, the human, has become much conflated with the legend of a saintly dog putatively from the same region, Gelert.
