ST. DAVID'S DAY - 1st March

St. David's Day is the national day of Wales.

Saint David (known as Dewi Sant in the Welsh language) is the patron saint of Wales.
 He was a Celtic monk who lived in the 6th Century and was Archbishop of Wales. 
His influence is shown by the number of churches dedicated to him in Wales.
This day is commemorated by the wearing of daffodils or leeks by patriotic Welsh people. Both plants are traditionally regarded as the national emblem of Wales.



WELSH PROVERB:

"Speak well of your friend;
of your enemy say nothing!"
