Saint David’s Day
[A slightly edited version of a Saint David’s Day post from 2005]
Dydd Gwyl Ddewi (St David’s Day), in honor of the “other” Celtic patron saint.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why Patrick is so honored (though mostly in the breech, as it were) and David so seemingly forgotten–at least outside of Wales. Ah, maybe that’s it: the Irish, so unsuccessful in their own land in the past, have huge swarms of folk in this, the most media-stricken land on the globe, and so Patrick just gets much more press.
Saint David, or Dewi Sant, as he is known in the Welsh language, is the patron saint of Wales. He was a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the sixth century. During his life, he was the archbishop of Wales, and he was one of many early saints who helped to spread Christianity among the pagan Celtic tribes of western Britain. –from Saint David and Saint David’s Day
If I can find it (again), I’ll also post a short hymn I wrote considering the likes of Sts David and Patrick, tune name: DEWI SANT. Ahhh, here it is…
So, wear a daffodil or a leek today and celebrate Saint David’s Day with what has become the Welsh motto (taken from his last sermon, according to tradition):
Gwnewch y pethau bychain
or,
“Do the little things.”

Wednesday Open Trackback Alliance Post: Do You Know Where YOUR Taxes Are?
[OTA Wednesday at third wirld countyâ„¢. Link here and trackback. See the end of the post for more.]
From The National Taxpayers Union:
Why NTU Supports the FairTax:
The Fair Tax Act of 2005 would promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
And on the Petition page, this:
… the FairTax plan would replace today’s indecipherable Tax Code with a flat-rate national retail sales tax plan that would:
- repeal many federal taxes, including personal income, estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes without reducing revenue;
- abolish the Internal Revenue Service, eliminate embedded taxes in goods and services that amount to billions of dollars, and bring offshore corporate dollars back into the U.S. economy;
- be fair for low-income Americans by providing universal tax rebates for consumption up to the poverty line;
- reward job creation, hard work, and individual responsibility…
Check out the info at The National Taxpayers Union and get on board! Your children and grandchildren will bless you.
And get the book, darn it! 🙂
