St David's Day is celebrated in Wales on 1 March, in honour of Dewi Sant or St David, the patron saint of Wales. Little is known about him for certain. What little information we have is based on an account of his life written by Rhigyfarch towards the end of the 11th century.
According to this Latin manuscript, Dewi died in the year 589. His mother was called Non, and his father, Sant, was the son of Ceredig, King of Ceredigion. After being educated in Cardiganshire, he went on pilgrimage through south Wales and the west of England, where it is said that he founded religious centres such as Glastonbury and Croyland. He even went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he was made archbishop.
Now March 1 is celebrated by schools and cultural societies throughout Wales. It is the custom on that day to wear either a leek or a daffodil - two of our national emblems - and for young girls to wear the national costume.
Little wonder they look nervous, poor things.
So reading the above tells me if it wasn't for us Welsh them hippies who go to Glastonbury wouldn't have an annual music and drug festival.
Many miracles have been attributed to him, the most incredible of which was performed when he was preaching at the Synod of Llanddewibrefi - he caused the ground to rise underneath him so that he could be seen and heard by all. Many hippies have said the same happens annualy at Glastonbury, miracle my ass that'll be the "Sniffy Sniffy" there sticking up their noses. "Llanddewibrefi " - isn't that the village where Gay Dafyffd off Little Britian comes from?
Dafydd
My Daughter has worn her costume to school today, bloody rip off it cost me £10 and if she's grown out of it by next year I will be most pissed off at having to fork out another £10. When I was a lad they used to give us the afternoon off school not anymore, tight barstards.
We are men't to eat Welsh Cakes today.
But I'm not instead I will be having Chicken Tikka Massala
So Happy St Davids day to all, wether your Welsh like me or wether your not, wether your interested in this or wether your not.
St Davids flag can be seen in my sig (the badge bit)
