Died 5th century. Saint Cynfarch is said to have been a Scottish chieftain who lived in Wales, where some churches are dedicated to him. The book of Llan Dav relates that he was a disciple of Saint Dyfrig and lent his name to Llangynfarch near Chepstow. One church dedicated to a Cynfarch at Llanfair Dyffryn, Clwyd, used to have a Sanctus Kynvarch represented in a stained-glass window (Benedictines, Farmer).

Troparion of St Cynfarch tone 8
Seeing that many were brought to Christ by the radiant example of thy
virtuous life/ and thy missionary labours, O holy Cynfarch,/ pray that
we too may follow thee/ in the service of our Saviour, that our souls
may be saved.
