Saint David's Day

Saint David's Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales on 1st March each year. This was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebration by followers since then, the date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century. In 2006, the Saint David's Day was officially celebrated on 28 February by Roman Catholics and on 2 March by the Anglican Church in Wales, because March 1st 2006 was Ash Wednesday, which is a day of penitence on which feast days are not celebrated.
The daffodil is the flower of Wales, and on St David's Day many people celebrate to wear the daffodil. In south Wales males usually wear leeks while young girls wear daffodils; in the north the daffodil predominates.
