What is St David's Day about?

St David is the patron saint of Wales and he is celebrated on the 1 March.

To mark the day, Welsh people around the world wear one or both of Wales's national emblems - a daffodil and a leek. Special concerts and parades are also held in St David's honour.

Patron saints are chosen to be special protectors or guardians over all areas of life.
