Gwlad gwlad! St David’s day has been around since the 18th century. It’s a national festival in wales, still marked with gusto, where many folks wear either a daffodil or a leek – both of which are symbols of wales.

Saint David of Wales (known as dewi saint in the welsh language), was a Celtic monk who lived in the 6th century and was archbishop of wales. he was highly influential, so much so that several churches were dedicated to him. His special day falls on march 1st each year. this was the date St. David of Wales died, in 589. though it wasn’t until the 18th century that Saint David day was declared a national day of celebration in wales.

Another symbol to honor Saint David’s day is the y ddraig goch (the red dragon, Wales’s national flag), which is flown on many more buildings than usual.
