“For all the hype surrounding Feb 14, I find this saint
more relevant than the martyred St Valentinus…her
feast day falls on 25th Jan, though

St. Dwynwen (also known as Dwyn, Donwen, Donwenna,
Dunwen) lived in the 5th century.

St. Dwynwen was one of 24 daughters of a 5th century
Welsh Saint and king, Brychan Brycheiniog, of Brechon. The beautiful and virtuous St. Dwynwen fell in love with a Welsh prince, Maelon Dafodrill, who intended to
wed her, but their marriage was not to be. Various
reasons have been given for this.

Some say that Brychan had already promised her to
another prince. Others say that she realized she
wished to live a religious life dedicated to God.
As St. Dwynwen distanced herself from Maelon, his
bitterness toward her became increasingly unbearable.
Upon seeing his desperation, St. Dwynwen fled to the
woods and prayed fervently to God to help her end this
misery.

She fell asleep and dreamt that she was administered a
sweet drink which immediately saved her from Maelon’s
attentions and released her from her heartache. The
same drink, when given to Maelon, however, turned him
into a statue of ice. Again she prayed to God, and
was given three wishes: the first was that Maelon be
unfrozen; the second was that she should never wish to
marry again; and the third was that God should answer
all requests made by her on behalf of lovers, so that
they succeed in finding happiness through the
fulfillment of their love or being cured of their
passion.

One of her sayings was, “Nothing wins hearts like
cheerfulness.”

God granted all her wishes. She committed her life to
Him and founded a convent on what is now Llanddwyn
island, just off the Isle of Anglesey (Yns Mon).

Her holy well, a fresh-water spring called Ffynnon
Dwynwen, became a place of pilgrimage. Over time she
was also invoked to heal sick and distressed animals,
a tradition which has survived to the present day.
The ruins of Llanddwyn chapel, a 16th century Tudor
church built at the site of priory can still be seen,
and there is also a Latin cross dedicated to St.
Dwynwen, in Llanddwyn. Moreover, her name lives on in
the town Porthddwyn and a church dedicated to her can
be found in Cornwall.

St Dwynwen is Wales’ patron saint of friendship and
love. “
