It celebrates Dwynwen, the Welsh saint of lovers. Calendars from the fifteenth century and later give 25 January as the day commemorating St Dwynwen in Wales.
St Dwynwen (Santes Dwynwen) was a fourth-century Welsh princess who lived in what is now the Brecon Beacons National Park. She was the prettiest of King Brychan Brycheiniog's 24 daughters. Dwynwen was rather unlucky in love, so she became a nun. She prayed for true lovers to have better luck than she did.
Incidentally, as well as being the Welsh patron saint of lovers, she's also the patron saint of sick animals. So if your budgie is unwell, you could try praying to St Dwynwen before calling the vet.
