St. David's Day at 2YA
A. VISITING actor, Richard Parry, will take part this year in the 2YA celebration of St. David’s Day, Saturday, March 1. Mr. Parry-himself a Welshman-will supply the recorded
narration, illustrated with Welsh melodies. But before this part of the session, the Wel&%h Society of Wellington will present a 20-minutes’ programme. St. David’s Day is the festival of Dewi Sant, the patron saint of Wales, who was buried in 549 A.D. at the township which now bears his name. It is said that he was the uncle of King Arthur, that his coming was foretold by an angel and that another angel accompanied him throughout his life. Legend also has it that wherever he preached, the ground rose beneath him. forming a natural pulpit. At any rate, his Day is an auspicious one for all born within the sound of an Eisteddfod. The narrative by Mr. Parry will tell of famous men which the land of snowcrested hills and deep minés has produced.
