Baruc (Welsh: Barrwg Welsh pronunciation: [ˈbarʊɡ]; also known as Barruc, Barrog or Barry) was a 6th-century Welsh saint.
Saint Baruc, who was a disciple of Saint Cadoc, forgot to bring the latter's reading matter with him on a journey from the island of Flat Holm. Cadoc sent him back and he drowned in the Bristol Channel on the return journey. He was buried on Barry Island in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The ruins of a chapel dedicated to him can still be seen in Friars Road, Barry Island. His feast day is 27 September.[1]
Baruc gives his name to a Welsh-language primary school in Barry called "Ysgol Gymraeg Sant Baruc"[2] and also the electoral borough in Barry known as the Baruc Ward.
