The Welsh Red Dragon Children with Daffodils.

          

People in Wales and those of Welsh origin celebrate the life of their patron saint, St David, and the Welsh culture on March the 1st each year. Many people pin a daffodil or leek to their clothes and some, especially children, wear traditional costumes. St David is the patron saint of Wales. March the 1st is a day of celebration of both. Many people attend special church services, parades, choral recitals or Welsh literature readings. Schools plan celebrations, often involving choirs, on the day.
