Curiosities about St. David's Day


  • The flag of Saint David (golden cross on a black background) is an important element of this day's celebration. It's busy on the streets. Parades, concerts, regional products fairs and sports competitions take place. Children and teenagers turn their school uniforms into traditional Welsh clothing. Whole cities, individual houses and clothing are decorated with national symbols, i.e. leeks and daffodils.
  • Por is a souvenir after battles with the English. To stand out during the fighting, the Welsh soldiers labeled their uniforms with this vegetable. Por is also the symbol of Saint David. On the other hand, Daffodil blooms in March, so he witnessed the death of the saint. The traditional dishes eaten on St. David's Day are leek soup and cawl - a kind of stew with Welsh lamb and leek.
  • Saint David, which I am talking about here is David from Menevia, which is now called St. David's for the celebration of this saint, and the curiosity is that it is the smallest city in the United Kingdom with the status of City and is considered the religious capital of Wales.
