The Red Dragon once represented the old Welsh God Dewi, who later became Wales’s mythical patron Saint David. Ddraig Goch has one talon raised in defiance! The Celtic Nations have a proud history of resistance, surviving many invasions (Saxons, Romans, Vikings) in the Western parts of Britain and France – Wales (Cymru), Brittany (Breizh), Cornwall (Kernow), the Isle of Man (Mannin), Ireland (Éire) and Scotland (Alba). Ysbryd Tragwyddol y Keltiad – the Spirit of the Celts is Eternal! Saxon invaders, the Engles, renamed part of Britain England. Fortunately, St. George, patron Saint of England – who according to legend tried to slay the Dragon – has not conquered Ddriag Goch, who is still the official emblem of Wales. Y Ddraig Goch Ddyry Cychwyn is an ancient Welsh prophesy: The Red Dragon Will Rise Again!All artwork and text ©Jen Delyth 1990 / 2004 SYMBOL MEANINGThese signed, collectible museum quality prints are made by Jen Delyth, in her studio.
