March 1st is Saint David’s Day … Saint David being the Welsh patron saint. Sorta like St Patrick, but without the green beer. Instead think poetry reading, singing and maybe some Welsh cakes. The ones below were baked by my sister. Thanks, Sis, for all the years of wonderful yummies!
To everyone: Happy Saint David’s Day!
Or as the Welsh would put it: Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus!
March 1st is St David’s Day. St David is the Welsh patron saint but just hasn’t attracted the attention that St Patrick has. Maybe because the Welsh tend to gather for singing and reading poetry instead of drinking green beer. (although the green beer is rumored to be an American addition)
Our family used to gather for St David’s Day to eat Welsh Cakes and celebrate our Welsh heritage. Daffodils were always present. One of the national symbols of Wales. Sometimes there would be original poetry shared … always some Dylan Thomas.
