St.David Day in Wales
Saint David's Day is
the feast of Saint David, the patron
saint of Wales, and falls on 1
March, the date of Saint David's
death in 589.
The feast has been regularly
celebrated since
the canonisation of David in the
12th century, though it is not a
national holiday in the UK.
Traditional festivities include wearing daffodils and leeks, both
recognised symbols of Wales and Saint David respectively, eating
traditional Welsh food including cawl and Welsh rarebit, and women
wearing traditional Welsh dress.
For centuries, 1 March has been
a national festival. Saint David
was recognised as a national
patron saint in the 12th
century at a peak time of Welsh
resistance to the Normans. He
was canonised by Pope Callixtus
in 1120.
Children in Wales take part in school concerts
or eisteddfodau, with recitation and singing.
