What is St Dwynwen’s day?

Advertisements

On 25 January each year, people across Wales celebrate St Dwynwen’s Day.

Named after the Welsh patron saint of love, it is often referred to as Wales’ Valentine’s Day.

But, ironically, the 5th century Welsh girl was somewhat unlucky in love.

Legend has it, she had an arranged marriage gone wrong, a frozen man to deal with and ended up as an agony aunt.

BBC Wales’ Erin Lister explains the history behind the traditional day.
