St Davids Days

St David was the patron saint of Wales and St David day is celebrated on the 1st, of March every year. The first of March was chosen because this was the only recording of his death. In 2000 the national assembly of Wales voted to make this day a public holiday but people also wanted it to be a bank holiday.

St David was born at the end of the fifth century, But their is no evidence of his death.

For centuries March the 1st has been a festival, he was recognised as a patron to the welsh. March the 1st (ST. David's day) was  first celebrated by the Welsh in the middle ages.

St. David's day is not a national holiday in the United Kingdom, It is celebrated by the Welsh societies throughout the world with parties and eisteddfodau which is the Welsh word for concert.
