Daffodils are also commonly worn.
I have some good friends from Wales. The son was clueless for most of his childhood as to why he had to wear a leek around his neck every St. David's day.

For anyone who might also wonder why, here is a short essay on leeks in Welsh history.

And here is the Wikipedia entry on St David.

Ok, I'd like to understand this stuff better.

St. David was an aesthetic. How do you celebrate an aesthetic? I think the only way to do so is to be an aesthetic yourself. How do you have an "aesthetic festival"? Would he want you to drink to his health, or eat a big meal, or buy favors from vendors?

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I just want to understand this.

The holiday is to celebrate Welsh culture and identity. It really has very little to do with St David; in fact, about as much as St Patrick's Day has to do with St Patrick.

No, it is:
I am Number 2
Who is Number 1?
You are Number 6.
I am not a number. I am a free man!

I was asking, not quoting.
