One tradition associated with St David’s Day is cleaning. Many people in Wales take this opportunity to clean their homes, schools, and workplaces in preparation for the coming of Spring. This practice is known as “Spring Cleaning,” and it has been a common custom in many cultures for centuries.

In addition to cleaning, there are many other traditions associated with St David’s Day. One of the most popular is the wearing of the daffodil, which is the national flower of Wales. It is also traditional to eat Welsh cakes and to sing Welsh songs and hymns.
