About the Doodle:

On this day each year, people with Welsh roots around the world honor their cultural identity. Many display their Welsh pride by wearing a leek or daffodil — both national symbols of Wales.

Many cities and towns across Wales hold parades or festivals, with the biggest examples being in Cardiff and Swansea. Some schools choose St David’s Day to hold eisteddfodau, a traditional poetry and music competition that celebrates ancient Welsh verse.

As winter turns into spring, there’s no better way to celebrate St. David’s Day by getting together with loved ones to enjoy a steaming bowl of cawl (hearty lamb stew), rarebit (open-faced hot cheese on bread), and deliciously sweet Welsh cakes.

Happy St. David's Day to everyone of Welsh descent! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

About the St. David's Day 2024 Doodle

This handcrafted Doodle celebrates St. David’s Day in Wales (also known as Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant)! The artwork takes inspiration from the legend of Dinas Emrys wherein a king’s castle collapsed many times due to two dragons fighting in a lair below its foundation. Eventually, the red dragon prevailed and became a symbol of Welsh pride. Today, the flag can be seen waving throughout the country.
