St David's Day

To commemorate a great person’s dying, the first day of March is also called St David’s Day in Wales. The people would be celebrating St. David's Day in one way or another at that day.

Saint David was the patron saint of Wales, and he lived in sixth century. During his life, he was the archbishop of Wales, and he was one of many early saints who helped to spread Christianity among the pagan Celtic tribes of western Britain.

And it said that when Celtic tribes invaded Wales in sixth century, Saint David taught people to put the daffodil on the maps to be the marks, and leaded the people to defeat the invader. And now it becomes a custom to put the daffodil on the maps at the St David’s Day in Wales, to commemorate that great person.
