ST. MELANGELL
Patron Saint of Rabbits and Hares
Her feast is celebrated MAY 27
She was the daughter of an Irish monarch, who was determined to marry her to a nobleman of his court. The princess had vowed celibacy and fled from her father’s dominions and took refuge in a place, where she lived fifteen years without seeing the face of a man. One day, Brochwel Yscythrog, Prince of Powys, was hare hunting and pursued his game till he came to a great thicket. He was amazed to find a virgin of surpassing beauty, engaged in deep devotion, with the hunted hare under her robe.
The hare boldly faced the dogs, who retired to a distance howling, notwithstanding all the efforts of the sportsmen to make them seize their prey. Even when the huntsman blew his horn, it stuck to his lips.
Brochwel heard her story, and granted her a parcel of land to be a sanctuary to all that fled there. This legend is perpetuated by wooden carvings of the Saint, with numbers of hares scuttling to her for protection. She properly became their Patroness. They were called ‘Oen Melangell’ (St. Monacella’s Lambs.)“
