St David’s Day- Patron Saint Of Wales



St David, apart from being the Patron Saint of Wales is an ancient historical figure associated with the phenomenon of corpse candles. Now Corpse candles or light is historically associated with the prediction of a death. The light is often blue and travels along the ground from the Churchyard to the dying person’s home then back again. It has many names JackO Lantern, Jenny Burntail and Spunkie.

I’ve read that corpse fire is also a mistaken view of a natural phenomenon of glowing fungus ( foxfire)suffice to say I’ve lived next to the sChurch of St Michael’s for 22 years and have seen nothing whatsoever lol
