Baruc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Baruc (also known as Barruc or, in modern Welsh, Barrwg) was a 6th century Welsh saint.
Baruc, who was a disciple of Saint Cadoc, forgot to bring the latter's reading matter with him on a journey from the island of Flat Holm. Cadoc sent him back and he drowned in the Bristol Channel on the return journey. He was buried on Barry Island. The ruins of the chapel that was dedicated to him can still be seen in Friars Road, Barry Island, Vale of Glamorgan. His feast day is on 27 September.
Baruc gives is name to a Welsh language primary school in Barry called Ysgol Gymraeg Sant Baruc and also the electoral borough in Barry known as the Baruc Ward.
