    Thursday 23rd April marks the day of England’s Patron Saint, St George, the dragon slayer. It is a day when English people St Georgeacross the globe join together and celebrate their heritage. Although it is no longer a national holiday, the English still celebrate it with pride by wearing a rose, which is our national symbol and hoisting the St George crest which is our country’s flag and also the centre of the British Union Jack flag. Who Was St George? The legend of St George and the dragon is over one thousand years old and tells of a small town in Libya where a dragon decided to take nest.

Because of this great and noble act, the village converted to Christianity. Continue reading →
