Who they were
Cynon (6th cent.), companion of Cadfan, from Armorica, at monastery of Bardsey, Patron of Capel Cynon, Cardigan, and of Tregynon, Montgomery.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
Stanton's Menology of England and Wales (1887) lists him among the Welsh saints to whom churches are dedicated.
