Happy St George’s Day!
Saint George is the patron saint of England, Georgia, Bulgaria, Portugal, and Catalonia and the 23rd of April is the aniversary of his death in 303. In England it is the National Day.
The legend of George and the Dragon tells the story of a town that was forced to offer a daily living sacrifice to a local dragon in order to get to get to the town spring. As the victim was chosen in a lottery eventually it was the beautiful princess’ turn. Only moments before the princess was gobbled up by the evil dragon, George, who happened to be passing on a white horse, interveened by slaying the dragon, saving the princess. The grateful citezens who had previously been Pagans all converted to Christianity.
