1st March: St. David, Patron Saint of Wales

St. David is the patron saint of Wales, and he is the only one of the 4 saints of these islands who is from the nation which he represents. Dewi (anglicized to David) died on the 1st March around 589AD, and this is why St David's Day is celebrated annually on this day. This is the day we wear the daffodil or leek, and fly Welsh flags with pride.
