St Piran’s Day
St Piran’s day is a national day of Cornwall!! In the Cornish tongue it is said “Gool Peran”. It is named after one of the patron saints of Cornwall, Saint Piran, who is also the patron saint of tin miners. It’s thought as one of the favourites of many tinners holidays observed by the tin miners of Cornwall. (St Piran’s days was said to be a favourite with the tinners).
It is believed that St Piran had miraculous powers, this caused a group of kings to throw him into the sea in Ireland, St Piran washed up upon the beach of Perranporth and began his life in Cornwall.
The Cornish flag is called the St Piran’s flag and it is to do with the tin, ore was smelted containing tin which caused a white cross to appear on his black hearth stone and thus the symbolic flag was born.
