What is the story of St David's Day?

Saint David is the patron saint of Wales. According to some ancient stories, Saint David, also called "Dewi Saint" in Welsh, was born between 462 and 515 in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Today the site is known for the ruins of a chapel and a well with healing properties. David is said to have lived for over 100 years and since then, his canonisation has been celebrated annually. Saint David has become an emblem of the country for the Christian believers.

The Welsh festivities are an opportunity to glorify the national symbols: the official flag, the other flag with its red dragon on a green and white background, the lily, popularised in the 19th century, and also leeks! It is said that Saint David's diet consisted solely of leeks, which he grew by hand with his disciples, and water. According to folklore, as early as the 7th century, Welsh soldiers carried leeks onto the battlefield for identification. On this day of celebration, Welsh flavours are highlighted with the famous "Bara brith" which is eaten in Wales; a dried fruit bread. The Welsh national anthem is also sung with fervour: Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

If you are fascinated by the science of heraldry, the yellow and black flag of St David's aka the Baner Dewi Sant, is simply the colours of the Diocese of St David!
