What is St. Dwynwen's Day?
St Dwynwen's Day on January 25 is the Welsh day of love, often called the Welsh Valentine's Day. Dwynwen was a 5th-century Welsh princess who, according to legend, turned away from an unhappy love, became a nun on Llanddwyn Island off Anglesey and prayed that all true lovers would find happiness. Couples in Wales exchange cards and carved wooden lovespoons, a traditional Welsh love token, and some visit the ruins of her church on Llanddwyn.
