Lex Anteinternet: Today is St. Dwynwen's Day.:
Today is St. Dwynwen's Day.
The ruins of the church built by St. Dwynwen.
She was a Welsh nun of the early Church, having died in about the year 460.
She is the patron saint of lovers, having lived as a hermit on Ynys Llanddwyn off the west coast of Anglesey, where she built a church. Becoming a hermit was common amongst the extremely devout of the early Church, although it's more common associated with North Africa. She apparently had been very sought after by a young suitor whom she could not marry, and in her isolation prayed that God look after all true lovers.
Her day is widely celebrated in Wales.
