Saint Georges Day…. Patron Saint of England
I think most people are familiar with the Flag of Saint George…. a bold red cross on a white ground….. an immediate symbol of England.
But I have to confess…. I have no knowledge of why Saint George, the mythical slayer of Dragons should be our Patron Saint…. after all he never ever set foot in England – Just a thought
Our lives today, are based much more on solid facts and reality…. so as always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

No idea…. and judging by the lack.of media mentions, I guess they have no idea. The other nations always get more mentions and coverage of local celebrations.

Being an American, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as St. George’s Day.
