* Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant - "Day of the Festival of Saint David"
- is celebrated around the world as the Welsh National Day, always on the first day of March, sometimes for several days. It’s named after David the Abbot of Ty Ddewi, who died on 1 March 589AD, the patron saint of Wales. As far as we know this is the first ever such celebration here in Budapest, Hungary.
