What are Welsh cakes?

Just to give them their official title! 😅

Welsh cakes or picau ar y maen are flat little, almost scone-like cakes with sultanas and raisins and spiced with things like cinnamon and nutmeg! They're delicious and a cornerstone in Welsh culture!

Saint David’s Day!

Today (March 1st) is Saint David’s day in Wales. Saint David’s day is celebrated all across Wales and is a big day of celebration of our culture

Why is Saint David’s day celebrated?

Saint David’s day is, as the name may suggest, a celebration of the life of Saint David. He was the patron saint of Wales and was very important when it comes to the religious aspects of Welsh culture (obviously, only relating to our later Christianity, and not our earlier other religions sadly). He died on March 1st in the year 589 and so Saint David’s day begun as a commemmoration of his life and work. Nowadays, Saint David’s day within the Welsh community is celebrated more as a day of pride and love based around our nation and our people. It has become a day of great pride in our Welsh traditions, much like how Saint Patrick’s day has become for the Irish.

Below is the flag of St David, which is typically flown on St David’s day

How do you celebrate Saint David’s day?

This depends on the person and area, and how patriotic you’re wanting to be. A vast majority of people will celebrate by either wearing leeks or daffodils and/or by displaying one or both of these in their homes. This is because both the leek and the daffodil are national emblems of Wales.

Most primary schools and some secondary/comprehensive schools will also run a school eisteddfod, which is a celebration of Welsh culture and arts through the form of a competition. These can sometimes include students learning traditional dances or music in order to perform them to the rest of the school. Often times, the young girls will also have to dress up in traditional-wear costumes (that tend to be awfully itchy, I must add). Students will also typically all be asked to sing the national anthem. People often also partake in enjoying traditional Welsh foods, such as cawl or picau ar y maen (AKA Welsh cakes or the several other names that these go by), which are shown below.

There are also often parades in order to celebrate, especially in Cardiff city centre on St David’s day. These parades come along with flying the flag of Wales and the flag of St David, as well as many banners, costumes, colours and excitement. You may also be able to spot the red and yellow lions flag flying, which is representative of the Welsh princes. It is also very common, especially at the parades in Cardiff, to hear the national anthem sung by the crowds. National museums across Wales also tend to throw big events in order to celebrate the day, which have the added bonus of being packed with fascinating history about Wales!

I hope this could be an informative insight in to what Saint David’s day is and why us Welsh lot even celebrate it to begin with!

Have a wonderful day, whether or not you celebrate St David’s day! Dydd Dewi Sant hapus iawn, pawb. Cymru am byth
