Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty God: that the devout prayers of blessed David, thy Confessor and Bishop, may in such wise succour and defend us, that we which on this day observe his festival, may follow his constancy in the defence of thy true religion; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
Saint David, Enlightener of Wales, pray for us!

O God, who didst call thy servant David to be a faithful and wise steward of thy mysteries for the people of Wales: Mercifully grant that, following his purity of life and zeal for the gospel of Christ, we may with him receive the crown of everlasting life, both now and ever, unto the ages of ages. Amen
Thank you for posting this, but would it not have been more in keeping with our own traditions to have found a more "western" pictorial representation of S David?
Personally, I find it almost offensive to see him done up in Greek drag.
