Description of Donation: |
Wales now has 4 distilleries and competes with its Irish neighbor on whisky production. We will host a tasting and celebrate the national holiday of Wales called St. David's Day . This holiday commemorates Dewi Sant, who lived in the 6th century, and is still celebrated today. He was said to have performed miracles, including raising up a hill to make it easier for people to see and hear him. The symbol of St. David is a leek. Legend says that before a battle against the Saxons, he advised the Welsh fighters to fasten a leek to their helmets so they could recognize each other. This event will involve leeks, some vegetarian/vegan Welsh dishes, and tasting Welsh whisky. No saint worshipping is involved. Quantity of places is by individuals |
