the saint’s day of St George , the patron saint of England, which is celebrated on 23rd April every year. Although it is the national day of England, it is not a holiday and there are no special celebrations. The Cross of Saint George is the flag of England, with a red cross on a white background.
The legend of St George says that he was a hero who killed a dragon to save a princess and in many pictures of him, he is shown standing over a dragon with a sword.
The real St George , however, is thought to have been a soldier in the Roman army in the first century who was a Christian and was executed because he refused to kill other Christians.
