Santes (Saint) Dwynwen is the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine (St Dwynwen’s Day is on the 25th January).
Legend tells that Dwynwen, daughter of 5th Century Welsh king Brychan Brycheiniog, was forbidden by her father from marrying her sweetheart, Maelon Dafodrill, and so she prayed she would fall out of love with him. An angel provided a potion and Maelon turned to ice. Dwynwen was granted three wishes: she wished that Maelon be released, that, through her, all lovers were protected and that she remain unmarried. Dwynwen then retreated to Ynys Llanddwyn off the Anglesey coast to live as a hermit for the rest of her life.
