Saint David of Wales.Legend of Wales.
We hope that you enjoy learning about the Patron Saint of Wales- Saint David and why the Welsh celebrate this special day every 1st of March.
Saint David´s Day
People in Wales (United Kingdom) and those Welsh origin celebrate the life of their patron saint, Saint David, and the Welsh culture on March 1st each year.
Who was Saint David? (500- 589) He was a Welsh bishop of Menevia during the 6th century. He was later regarded as a saint. David was a native of Wales, and a relatively large amount of information is known about his life. However, his birth date is uncertain. He is tradicionally believed to be the son of Saint Non and the grandson of Ceredig ap Cunedda, king of Ceredigion.
His best known miracle is said to have taken place when he was preaching in the middle of a large crowd at the Synod of Brefi: the village of Brefi stands on the spot where the ground on which he stood is reputed to have risen up to form a small hill. A white dove (paloma), which become his emblem, was seen setting on his shoulder.
The Monastic Rule of David prescribed that monks had to pull the plough(arado) themselves without draught animals, must drink only water and eat only bread with salt and herbs, and spend the evening in prayer, reading and writing. No personal possessions were allowed. even to say " my book" was considered an offence.
He lived a simple life practising ascetism, teaching his followers to refrain from eating meat and drinking beer. His simbols, also the symbols of Wales are the leek (puerro) and the daffodil (narciso).

Pancake Day story and recipe
The Olney Pancake race
En UK, las carrera de pancakes (Pancakes races) constituyen una importante parte de las celebraciones de Shrove Tuesday, una oportunidad para que muchas personas, a menudo disfrazadas, corran por las calles.El objetivo de la carrera es conseguir llegar a la meta en primer lugar, llevando una sartén( frying pan) con una pancake y hacerla volar por los aires, cuando van corriendo. La más famosa carrera de pancakes tuvo lugar en Buckingham; según la tradición en 1445 una mujer de Olney, oyó el repicar de las campanas de la iglesia mientras ella estaba haciendo pancakes y corrió hasta la iglesia con su mandil( apron) y agarrando aún la sartén.La carrera de pancakes de Olney es hoy día famosa en el mundo entero.Los competidores deben de ser amas de casa de la localidad( local housewives) y deben llevar un delantal-(apron )y un pañuelo(scarf) en la cabeza. La primera mujer que llega a la iglesia le sirve su pancake al campanero(bellringer )el cual la besa y la proclama ganadora(the winner).
