Happy St George's Day

[Mike]

Yes 23rd April is his day, the patron saint of England,
but it will be hard to enjoy the day today in Lockdown.

Happy Saint George Day!

St George's Day in England remembers St George, England's patron saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on April 23, is seen as England's national day. According to legend, he was a soldier in the Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a princess.

Can’t someone please ignore the damsel in distress, and rescue the dragon?

How do you generally celebrate St. George's Day?

 

[Mike]

It isn't celebrated as far as I am aware Gaer.

I think it depends where you live. In my town it's usually a parade with local marching band etc. while in the nearby market town they put a pageant on with George and the Dragon doing battle.

Wow -- how fun is that!! (Either of them.)
