Today is St David's Day, which means that it's a very special day for the people of Wales, the Land of Song, culture, and many other things of which we are justifiably proud. Saint David is the patron saint of Wales. He was a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the 6th century. During his life he was the archbishop of Wales, and was one of many early saints who helped to spread Christianity among the pagan Celtic tribes of western Britain.You can find out more about our patron saint by following this link. For people all over the Welsh nation it will be a day of singing, a day where the national emblem of Wales 'Y Ddraig Goch', (the Red Dragon), will be even more in evidence than usual, on flags, car stickers and jewellery.
The Welsh are a proud people. Proud of their heritage, proud of their language, proud of their land, all of which are very justified feelings! In recognition of this day I'd like to share a few pictures with you, dear reader, of our wonderful land. That's why today's post is headed 'Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus!' or Happy St David's Day!
