Holidays in Wales

These are the main holidays traditionally celebrated in Wales that are not shared with the rest of the United Kingdom. Except for those that fall at the same time as UK public holidays, none of these holidays are bank holidays. There is, however, much support for the recognition of St David's Day as a bank holiday in Wales, in the same way as St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland, and St Andrew's Day in Scotland.
Many of the seasoned festivals originate in the Celtic culture of Wales, as does the manner of their celebration.
==Historic Practice==
As recorded in the Laws of Hywel Dda, the three main holidays (''gwyliau'') of the medieval Welsh kingdoms were Christmas (''Nadolig''), Easter (''Pasg''), and Whitsuntide (''Sulgwyn'').〔Wade-Evans, Arthur. ''Welsh Medieval Laws'', p. 2. Oxford Univ., 1909. Accessed 31 Jan. 2013.〕
Other important holidays were the feasts of St Patrick (''Gwyl Badric'') on March 17; St. Quiricus (''Gwyl Giric'') on June 16; the Beheading of John the Baptist (called in Welsh ''Gwyl Ieuan y Moch'' St. John of the Swine as it was the day the pigs were turned out into the woods to forage through the winter〔Roberts, Sara E. ''(Llawysgrif Pomffred: An Edition and Study of Peniarth MS 259B ).'' Brill, 2011. Accessed 31 Jan 2013.〕) on August 29; St Michael (''Gwyl Fihangel'') on September 29; and the Calends of Winter (''Calan Gaeaf'') on November 1, All Saints' Day (''yr Holl Saint'').〔Wade-Evans, Arthur. ''Welsh Medieval Laws'', p. 343. Oxford University, 1909. Accessed 31 Jan 2013.〕 A special drink called the "liquor of the Apostles" (''gwirawd yr ebestyl'') was brewed for and distributed on these saints' days.〔Wade-Evans, Arthur. ''Welsh Medieval Laws'', p. 341. Oxford Univ., 1909. Accessed 31 Jan. 2013.〕
