Irish archbishop and brother of St Cedd, also called Ceadda. He was trained by St Aidan in Lindisfarne and in England. He also spent time with St Egbert in Ireland. Made the archbishop of York by King Oswy, Chad was disciplined by Theodore, the newly arrived archbishop of Canterbury, in 669. Chad accepted Theodore’s charges of impropriety with such humility and grace that Theodore regularised his consecration and appointed him the bishop of Mercia. He established a see at Lichfield. His relics are
enshrined in Birmingham. In liturgical art he is depicted as a bishop, holding a church. – Catholic Online
