St David's Day

Today people in Wales and those of welsh origin celebrate the life of their patron saint St David.The daffodil is often associated with the Welsh and St David's day and people like to pin them on their clothes and children especially like to dress up in traditional costume.

St David plays an important role in the Welsh culture but not alot is known about his life.He travelled throutout Wales,the south-west of England and Brittany in France.He eventually became an archbishop.St David was canonized in 1120 and March 1 was included in the church calendar as St David's day.

St David's day is not a public holiday in the United kingdom or countries such as the United States and Canada but if you get the chance to get out in the sunshine, take a stroll through the daffodils and take in the fresh air and celebrate St David's day anyway you choose.
