St David's Day Assembly
St. David’s day is
celebrated in Wales
and by Welsh people
 all over the world.

    St. David’s is
celebrated on the 1st
of March every year.
St. David is said
 to have died on
 the 1st of March
in 589 and this is
 why the date of
   1st March is
  chosen as the
  national day of
 celebrations for
    the Welsh.
Who was St. David?

 He was the son of Sant
  and was descended
from the royal house of
       Ceredigion.
 St. David’s mother was
   Non. She was the
  daughter of Cynyr of
Caio who is remembered
  by churches and holy
      wells in Wales.
• St. David is also known as Dewi Sant.
• St. David is famous because he lived a
Celtic monk, an abbot and a bishop.
• He also became the Archbishop of Wales.
When St. David
    was the
 archbishop of
Wales he helped
   to spread
  Christianity
among the people
  of western
    Britain.
St. David was thought to have
been a very gentle person who
      lived a frugal life.

It is said that he ate
  mostly bread and
 herbs. Despite this
  simple diet, it was
also said that he was
tall and very strong.
What did St. David do?

   St. David travelled on
    missionary journeys
throughout Wales, where he
     established several
         churches.
  He also travelled to the
 south and west of England
   and Cornwall as well as
Brittany in France. It is also
  possible that he visited
           Ireland.
St. David had two
friends who were the
  Saints Padarn and
Teilo. They are said
     to have often
followed St. David on
 his journeys. Once
 they went together
  on a pilgrimage to
 Jerusalem to meet
the Patriarch (or the
    ‘Head’ Bishop).
St. David is sometimes known, in
             Welsh, as 'Dewi Ddyfrwr' (David
                   the Water Drinker).

            Water was an important part of his
            life because it is said that is all he
                           drank.


Sometimes, St. David
would stand up to his
neck in a lake of cold
        water.
St. David founded
  a monastery at
Glyn Rhosyn (Rose
 Vale) which is on
the banks of the
  River Alun. It
  was where the
cathedral city of
 St. David stands
      today.
St. David’s monastery
 was very strict and
 the brothers had to
work very hard as well
as pray and celebrate
       masses.

The monks had to get
 up very early in the
 morning for prayers
and afterwards they
 worked very hard in
   the monastery.
How is St. David’s Day
       celebrated?
On St. David's Day
many towns have a
 parade each year
through the centre
     of town.

 Concerts are also
held in pubs, clubs,
 concert halls and
     theatres.
Children in Wales take
part in school concerts
  or ’eisteddfodau’.

These are festivals of
 literature, music and
   performances with
 readings and singing.
This is the flag of St. David which is
      flown in the celebrations.

Cawl or Welsh broth is also made and
      eaten on St. David’s Day.
