Just thought I’d read up about this Saint George
23rd April is St. George’s Day – named for the patron saint of England who has become famous from stories that he slayed a dragon and saved a distressed maiden.
The truth of the matter is that St. George had never set foot in England, but he had been seen fighting for the English. In 1415 he became the official patron saint of England.
May’s comment: We don’t know when is George’s birthday. We know his Gotcha Day (15th September). Just so he doesn’t lose out on a day to celebrate him, we use this day of the patron saint to honour him.
Happy St. George’s Day!
We’ll be home soon.
