St. Dwynwen is the patron saint of lovers. Her feast day is January 25, Dydd
Santes Dwynwen. If you are Welsh, or the one you love is Welsh, January 25 is
an opportunity to express your affection and say "Dwy'n dy garu di".

Dwynwen was a daughter of the 5th Century saint Brychan Brycheiniog. She fell
in love with Maelon Dafodrill, but displeased him when she rejected his sexual
advances prior to marriage. She prayed to God for deliverance from her situation,
and was given a sweet drink which released her from her heartache. The same
drink was given to Maelon, who was turned to ice. Again she prayed, and was
given three wishes, the first that Maelon should be unfrozen, the second that
she should never again desire marriage, and the third that God should answer
all requests by her on the behalf of lovers.
She became a nun, and founded a convent at Llandwyn, on an island just off
Anglesey. A freshwater spring there, Ffynnon Dwynwen, has become a place of
pilgrimage, not only for lovers, but also for those seeking her help in healing
sick and distressed animals.
