Hapus Dewi Sant

Today is St David’s day, the patron saint of Wales. I shall be wearing my leek (a felt one!) with pride. No one knows why the Welsh wear leeks on St David’s day. The saint himself is usually represented standing on a mound with a dove on his shoulder. In that respect, a leek is less messy.

St David’s reputed last words were ‘Be joyful, bothers and sisters. Keep the faith and do the little things you have heard and seen me do’. He was a wise man: it’s the little things that make the difference.

Dewi Sant gweddia drosom ni.
