Gwyl Mabsant
Gwyl Mabsant is celebrated every year in Wales on February 9. It is considered to be the most popular rural festival in Wales. It is used to commemorate the local parish saint. Gŵyl Mabsant is Welsh for “Feast of the Patron.” It is also known by some people as the patronal festival or wake of a parish. The annual event developed from dedicating prayers to a program of recreational activities enjoyed by all. The event became a combination of betting, feasting, and drinking. The parish festivals have built up a reputation for their rowdiness over the years.
