Saint David (who is known in the Welsh language as "Dewi Sant") is the patron saint of the Wales. Unlike many other contemporary "saints" of Wales, Saint David was officially recognized by the Roman Catholic Church (Saint David was canonized by Pope Callixtus II in 1123), and as result is venerated today by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. Saint David's Day is today celebrated as both a religious and secular event, however it has its origins in a Christian feast marking the anniversary of Saint David's death on March 1st 589.
