St George's Day
April patron holiday
St George's Day is April 23rd, the feast day honoring England's patron saint.
The day celebrates English identity and culture, though it receives far less public observance than equivalent national days in Scotland, Wales, or Ireland.
St George, a Roman soldier martyred for his Christian faith, became associated with England through medieval legend—particularly the story of slaying a dragon.
We flew the flag for St George's Day.
