Or...Happy Saint David's Day!!Never heard of it?
Well, Saint David is the official saint of Wales. And March 1st is his day. The people host parades, eat yummy foods (like the leeks I have sitting in our 'fridge), and celebrate their country's heritage.
"Os y chi'n caru Cymru, dylech chi fod yna!" (which means "If you love Wales, you should be there!")
Who exactly was Saint David?
"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.
The daffodil is the flower of Wales, and on St David's Day many people celebrate by wearing a daffodil."
