What does Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus Mean? Story Behind the Welsh Day of Romance

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus means Happy St. Dwynwen's Day in Welsh. It is the Welsh version of Valentine's Day (but totally different and unique) and is becoming popular again in Wales in recent years.

I had a lovely phone interview with Dot Davies on BBC Radio Wales on Friday. She asked me the story behind the day. You can listen to a (abridged for radio) version of the tale below.
