Saint David's Day (Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant)
Well It is St. Davids day today. Dewi Sant is the patron saint of Wales.The best-known miracle associated with Saint David is said to have taken place when he was preaching in the middle of a large crowd at the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi. When those at the back complained that they could not see or hear him, the ground on which he stood is reputed to have risen up to form a small hill so that everyone had a good view. A white dove was seen settling on his shoulder — a sign of God's grace and blessing. The village which is said to stand on the spot today is known as Llanddewi Brefi. A more mundane version of this story is that he simply recommended that the synod participants move to the hilltop. John Davies notes that one can scarcely imagine a more uncalled-for miracle in that part of Wales. In works of art, David is frequently shown with a dove on his shoulder.
That's right, it all happened in Llanddewi Brefi, made infamous by Little Britain.
