St David's Day, as celebrated today, dates back to 1120, when Dewi (David) was canonised by Pope Callactus the Second, and March 1st was included in the Church calendar.

Each year, throughout the world, wherever Welsh families can foregather, St. David's death is commemorated on March 1st.

Hello cilycoed... I know I'm late, but still I would like to thank you for your kind birhtdaywishes on my birthdaycard at Ank's. I left a message there...

Thanks for your explanation on this puzzle...

Thanks to all of you who have commented on this puzzle. St Patrick's Day [for the Irish] is well known and celebrated around the world, St Andrew [patron Saint of Scotland] his day, the 30th of November is not so well known, like Dewi Sanct and then of course there is St George who has his day 23 April. It's always lovely to share these special days with family and friends, and thats what Jigidi is, family and friends.

Diolch yn Fawr Merrie

Thank you so much for this very enlightening entry. Maybe the daffodil is for the Spring season (or the eternal hope of Spring). It is nice to know that the Welsh still have such a strong cultural and national heritage. You are not a very big country, and sometimes small countries are absorbed into larger or stronger ones, so it is very heartening to know the Welsh people are still fiercely loyal to their land and language. So Happy St. David's Day!!!

S'mae Merrie, or hi.... It's definately not a day for mourning, it's the day we celebrate being Welsh. Much the same as the Irish celebrate St Patrick's day, most people don't really know a lot about St David though. Our nation stops for the day and people gather right around Wales to celebrate our culture.

The Red Dragon or Y Ddraig Goch I believe was used first in the 1400s and was recognised in the late 1900s as the flag of Wales. Legend has it that St David needed a way for his army, when in battle, to know each other so they put the leek on so as to recognise each other in battle. There were many battle had by the Welsh too. The daffodil I am not certain of, but as long I have been celebrating Dewi Sanct the daffodil has been to the forefront. There will be others better able to answer that one I'm sure.

The history of Wales has been long and hard as we have fought for the bit of land we call home. Many have tried to overtake us, but there is an awesome spirit in the hearts of the Cymry to battle, as I hope there would be in any culture which has been in danger of being trampled. Our national anthem is 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' in English, 'The Land of My Fathers'.

We have a word in welsh - Hireath - it has no one-word translation into english, it means deep longing or yearning or wanting and desiring, heartfelt wanting - in all exp-pat Cymry. It doesn't matter where we are in the world or how long we have been away, like me for 57 years, my heart is called back to the Land of My Fathers. I'd like to think that people from other cultures had the same deep longing for the 'land of their fathers'.

Thanks for asking merrie
Diolch yn Fawr and da boch chi

Not being Welsh, I have never heard of St. David's Day. What is the significance of the daffodil, the scallions (onions) and the dragon? Should I say "happy" St. David's Day, or is it a mourning day? --Merrie
