St.David was of course born in the centre of the protective arms of a stone circle whilst the storm raged outside. Whether the myth comes with time or is paganism turned into Christianity by zealous monks is of course open to dispute.... Or a marriage of convenience against a mutual foe? I strongly suspect that syncretism is responsible for much of the Christian tradition. Lots of weird bits of Christianity spring from what for convenience I will call the British Isles (apologies in advance), confession, Arianism, even the tonsura magorum was distinct from the accepted Roman tradition. Who knows? Not a believer, in anything really.
