St. David’s Day
Today is the feast day of St David, patron saint of Wales, who was born and grew up on the west coast of Wales in what is now known as St David’s, located in the county of Pembrokeshire. St David’s is the smallest cathedral city in Britain and was officially made a city by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995. David died there in 589, having established a monastery on the site of the present cathedral.
Here endeth todays lesson. Happy St David’s Day.
You can’t imagine the funny looks I got coming to work wearing a leek - sometimes I am a fool to myself. Didn’t have time to post anything this morning, but have a nice shot of the Cathedral from 2 years ago that will work nicely.
