Happy Saint David's Day!. Saint David's Day
Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapu, or, if you don't speak Welsh, Happy Saint David's Day! It's 1st March, and across Wales, people are celebrating the country’s patron saint. Born in the 6th century, Saint David was a Welsh bishop who preached as far afield as Brittany in France. The day is celebrated by displaying leeks and daffodils, traditional symbols of Wales; parades are held across the country, and people eat Welsh dishes like cawl and bara brith. But the true essence of this day is best felt at the St David's Cathedral in the United Kingdom's smallest city, St Davids, with a population that barely exceeds 1,900 residents. The city is also the resting place of Saint David and is a symbol of serene resilience, just like his famous words: 'Do the little things.' So, let's celebrate the small but mightily meaningful things today.
