St Piran's Day is on 5 March.
St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall (Cornish: Kernow), the southern most corner of Great Britain.
Legend tells us that St.Piran sailed to Cornwall on a millstone.
Originally it had been tied around his neck and he had been cast into the Atlantic by people jealous of his power to heal and work miracles.
As he was thrown off the cliff there was a bolt of lightning and a terrible crash of thunder, but as he reached the sea the storm suddenly abated, the sun came out and St.Piran could be seen seated peacefully on the millstone which was now floating on the surface of the water.Originally it had been tied around his neck and he had been cast into the Atlantic by people jealous of his power to heal and work miracles.
Piran built himself a small chapel in Penhale sands and his first disciples were said to be a badger, a fox and a bear.
