St Dwynwen’s Day

St Dwynwen is known as the Welsh patron saint of lovers, celebrated each year on January 25th. She lived during the 5th century and was one of the daughters of King Brychan Brycheiniog. According to legend, Dwynwen fell deeply in love with a young man named Maelon, but their relationship was thwarted either by her father's refusal or Maelon's betrayal, depending on the version. Heartbroken, she prayed to forget him and was granted a vision by an angel. As a result, she devoted her life to God, founding a convent on Ynys Llanddwyn, a small tidal island off the coast of Anglesey.
