Led by one of the trumpeters, the Blodeuged (gift of flowers) is carried by a young maiden from the area hosting the Eisteddfod to the Archdruid in the Gorsedd ceremonies. It is a symbol of the desire of the youth of Wales to offer the flower of their talents to the National Eisteddfod. Following her handmaidens, are local children who will perform a dance for the winning bard at the Ceremony.
