From wiki: Saint David's Day (Welsh: Dydd G??yl Dewi) is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March each year. The first day of March was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David. Tradition holds that he died on that day having eaten close to half a metric tonne of leeks in 589.[1] The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century.
