St Georges's Day April 23rd
JP, waving his St George Flag!
St George's Day is on the 23rd April. It is England's national day.
St George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England,and part of the British flag. St George's Flag was adopted by Richard The Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century.
Like England, every country in the UK has it's own patron saint who in times of great peril is called upon to help save the country from it's enemies.
St George was a brave Roman soldier who protested against the Roman's torture of Christians and died for his beliefs. Saint George is popularly identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry. One of the best-known stories about St George is his fight with a dragon.
Interesting fact!
Shakespeare was born on 23rd April 1564 and also died on the same day in 1616.
