Today is St Dwynwen's Day

Dwynwen - the patron saint of Welsh lovers - lived in the 5th Century, one of 24 daughters of King Brychan Brycheiniog. The legend of Dwynwen tells of a Welsh maiden who fell in love with a prince, Maelon Dafodrill, who intended to wed her. But their marriage was not to be.
It is claimed Dwynwen had wanted to become a nun. She turned to God for help and dreamt that she was administered a sweet drink, which immediately saved her from Maelon's attentions. When the same drink was given to Maelon he was turned into a statue of ice.
Again she prayed, she was given three wishes - the first was that Maelon be unfrozen, the second was that she should never marry, and the third was that God should answer all requests made by her on behalf of lovers. That is why she is known throughout the country as the Patron of lovers in Wales.
And Pete gets full marks for turning up at my door this afternoon with a lovely bunch of flowers :) What a sweetie.
