In Wales, the Daffodil is a symbol of the Patron Saint, David (Welsh: Dewi Sant), and
of rebirth and faithfulness, because they bloom every year, even after the harshest Winters.

Available on YouTube at
Saint David's Day is on 1 March. He brought Christianity to Wales in the 6th-Century A.D.
Saint David (Dewi Sant) is The Patron Saint of Wales and 1 March is The Welsh National Day.
This is an edited version of 'Songs of Praise' 24/02/2013.
The final song is sung by Rhys Meirion, in Welsh, accompanied by a Traditional Welsh Harp.
The Welsh name for the City of Saint David is Tyddewi.

And, as a Saint David's Day Bonus to all Welshmen,
watch "The Greatest Rugby Try Ever Scored"
(The Barbarians versus The All Blacks).
Scored, naturally, by a Welshman.
A totally brilliant post,Dewi, thank you for posting it. And the Phil Bennet try ...? the leak on the cake
ReplyDeleteDiolch, John.
ReplyDeletePleasure to Post on Dewi Sant's Feast Day.
P.S. Don't tell Gareth Edwards that Phil Bennett scored that fabulous Try.
It was Phil Bennet's try, Gareth merely scored it
DeleteAh. That explains it. JPR; Gareth; Phil; Gerald; Mervyn, etc. Welsh Rugby like we haven't seen since.
