Today is Saint David's Day!  Saint David is the patron saint of Wales and to mark the day, Welsh people around the world wear one or both of Wales' national emblems - a daffodil and a leek. 

Saint David - or Dewi Sant in Welsh - was born on the southwest coast of Wales, near today’s city of Saint Davids is today.  We don't actually know the exact year when he was born, but it is believed to be some time between 462 and 515 AD.

Legend tells many stories of miracles involving Saint David.  One of those stories tells of his speaking to a large crowd and someone in the crowd shouting: "We won't be able to see or hear him."  The flat ground David stood on is said to have risen up so that he was then standing on a hill, making it easier for everyone to see him.  It is said that he lived for more than 100 years and died on Tuesday, 1 March 589.

Best wishes for a joyous Saint David's Day to all who celebrate it!

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant!
