2. St. David’s Day
The national Welsh Day
• Hello everyone, we are going to tell you the story of
Saint David’s which is the national Welsh day.

3. Many many many years ago, the men of Wales
were fighting to protect their land from the
Saxon invaders.

4. Welsh soldier: “Hello. I am a Welsh soldier.
You! Saxon invader!, go away from Wales!!!”

5. Saxon soldier: “No, we are the Saxons, and we will
win this battle”!

6. • Speaker 2: The Welsh were losing. It was difficult to know who was
the enemy and who was Welsh. Welsh men and the Saxons were
wearing similar clothing.

7. • Welsh soldier: “I am a welsh soldier and I am wearing soldier
clothes!”
•
•
• Saxon soldier: “Oh dear!!! I am a saxon invader and I am wearing
soldier clothes too!”

8. Speaker 3: A welsh monk called David saw that it was a big
problem. The monk told the Welsh men to wear a leek on the
helmet.

9. • St David: "You! Welsh soldiers! wear these leeks on your helmet so
you will know that any soldier who does not have a leek is your
enemy."

10. • Leek: “Hello, I am a leek, and I will save your life”.

11. • Speaker 4: Soon every Welsh soldier was wearing a leek on his
helmet. They attacked the invaders and the Welsh won the battle.

12. • Speaker 5: David died on March 1st. After he died, the Catholic
Church made him a saint. St. David is the patron saint of Wales, and
March 1st is celebrated with a cultural festival by the Welsh people.

13. • Speaker 6: The leek is the national SYMBOL of Wales.
Leek: “Hello, I am the national SYMBOL of Wales”.

14. Speaker 7: Welsh leek has a flower that looks like a daffodil. Daffodils are easier to
find around the world in March.

15. • Daffodil: “Hello, I am a daffodil, and I am easy to find in March”.
Speaker 8: This is the reason that many Welsh use daffodils instead of leeks.

16. Leek and Daffodil: “We are both Welsh symbols”.

17. Speaker 9: “Bye bye everyone”
