St. Tysilio (also spelled Tyssilo, Tyssel, Suliau, Suliac), whose name means “Dear Little Sunday’s Child”, is ranked among the Fathers of the Welsh Church. He lived in the second half of the sixth and first half of the seventh centuries. Meifod in the Welsh county of Powys has been the main center of his veneration over the centuries. The saint’s father was Brochwel, a king of the early Welsh kingdom of Powys, which corresponds to part of today’s central eastern Wales and the western English county of Shropshire.
