Dydd Santes Dwynwen...

It's Burns Night tonight: a celebration of Robert Burns' life and poetry on January 25th, his birthday. Traditionally, haggis is eaten and whiskey is drunk, poems and songs by Robert Burns are recited and sung with much toasting and speeches given.

In Wales, today is Dydd Santes Dwynwen (Saint Dwynwen's Day). Dwynwen is the Welsh saint of love and as such, today is the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine's Day. The stories of how she became the saint for love all begin with her falling for Maelon. What happens then varies from banishment to rape but all agree that she never fulfilled her love and instead became a nun.

Never let it be said that we're not a romantic nation, us welshies...
