Everyone knows about St. Valentine’s Day, but you might not be aware of the Welsh equivalent: Dydd Santes Dwynwen.
Celebrated every year on 25 January, the occasion commemorates the Welsh saint of lovers.
Even if not as commercially promoted as Valentine’s Day, couples in Wales purchase Santes Dwynwen greeting cards to give to one another. A traditional gift on this day is a Welsh love spoon. These typically handmade wooden spoons are decorated and carved into shapes and symbols, and have been crafted for centuries within Wales.
