圣德温日

 圣德温日

威尔士在1月25日庆祝圣德温日。 但谁是圣德温呢?

St Dwynwen是威尔士的恋人守护神,这使她成为威尔士的圣瓦伦丁。

Dwynwen生活在5世纪,传说她是Brychan Brycheiniog的24个女儿中最漂亮的一个。 Dwynwen爱上了一个叫Maelon Dafodrill的王子,但不幸的是她的父亲已经安排她嫁给别人。

Dwynwen因为不能和Maelon结婚而感到非常沮丧,她乞求上帝让她忘记他。 在睡着之后,Dwynwen被一位天使拜访,他出现时带着一种甜蜜的药水,旨在消除所有关于Maelon的记忆,并将他变成一块冰。

然后,上帝给了德温文三个愿望。 她的第一个愿望是让梅隆解冻;第二个愿望是让上帝满足真正恋人的希望和梦想;第三个愿望是让她永远不要结婚。 这三个愿望都得到了满足,为了表示感谢,德温文在她的余生中致力于为上帝服务。

她在安格尔西岛西海岸外的兰德温(Llanddwyn)建立了一个修道院,在她于公元465年去世后,以她名字命名的水井成为了一个朝圣之地。 水井的游客相信,生活在水井中的圣鱼或鳗鱼可以预示他们的关系是否会幸福,以及爱情和幸福是否会属于他们。 今天仍然可以看到德温文的教堂遗迹。

近年来,圣德温文节的受欢迎程度和庆祝活动大大增加,许多人现在都会向对方发送圣德温文节卡片。 网上有许多可以购买这些卡片的渠道。

因此,为什么要等到情人节才表达你的浪漫情怀,而你可以在三周前就向你的爱人表达 "dwi'n dy garu di"(我爱你)的愿望?
