St David’s Day
1st March
Traditionally known as the “feast day of Saint David”, March 1st has been a day of celebration in Wales since the 12th century and as well as St David as his achievements, it's a day to honour Wales as a whole. St David was the greatest figure in the 6th century Welsh Age of Saints, founder of scores of religious communities, and the only native-born patron saint of the countries of Britain and Ireland.
St David died on 1 March – St David’s Day - in 589. He was canonised by Pope Callixtus in the 12th century, and we have celebrated St David’s Day ever since.
