Can fish predict your love life?

Patron Saint of lovers

St Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Which makes her the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine. This means that Wales enjoys two Valentines Days, one on the 14th February and The Welsh Valentines day – St Dwynwens day on 25th January.

Unrequited

Ironically, St Dwynwen’s love life was a sad and traumatic affair, suffering  a bungled arranged marriage, unrequited love for a prince and brainwashing at the hands of an angel. Unmarried, St Dwynwen founded a convent on the remote and magical Llanddwyn Island, off the west coast of Anglesey.

The Sacred Fish

Every year people make a pilgrimage to St Dwynwen’s Well, where it is said that the movements of a sacred fish can predict how you and your partners relationship will fair. If you and your partner visit the well and the water starts boiling, this is a sure sign that love and happiness will follow you.
