As part of this year’s Halloween celebrations the Mentrau Iaith are highlighting a leading Day of the Dead figure in Celtic folklore – Gwyn ap Nudd.
To celebrate, the Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych is giving you a chance to decorate and create Gwyn ap Nudd’s skull.
Thanks to the cooperation of Hunaniaith (Menter Iaith Gwynedd), a series of videos telling the story of Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Underworld and Welsh Halloween traditions presented by storyteller Gwilym Morus-Baird. Their aim is to raise awareness of the Welsh and Celtic folklore linked with Hallows’ Eve.
Inspired by hearing the story, you can download a template to create your own paper skull below and decorate it.
