What does St. David's Day celebrate?
St. David's Day, on March 1, is the national day of Wales and marks the death of Saint David, the country's patron saint, in the sixth century. It is celebrated with parades, concerts and school eisteddfodau, and by wearing a daffodil or a leek. March 1 has been kept as his feast day since the 12th century.
