Happy St. Dwynwen's Day! (Welsh Valentine's Day)

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dydd_Santes_Dwynwen

Dydd Santes Dwynwen, literally meaning 'Day of Saint Dwynwen' in Welsh, is considered to be the Welsh equivalent to Valentine's Day and is celebrated on 25 January every year. It celebrates Dwynwen, the Welsh Saint of love. 25 January is the feast day of Saint Dwynwen.[1]

Throughout Wales, children and adults make cards to give each other in a celebration of their love, or sometimes without a name in order to entice the other person into love.
