It's 23rd April guys! The red cross of St. George will be flying from church towers and steeples.
We English don't make a big fuss about our national day, but that's just the way we are. St. George was allegedly a Roman soldier and he's not a very exclusive patron saint. Quoting from WIkipedia:
"Saint George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres (Spain), Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Milan, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lod, Barcelona and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organizations, and disease sufferers."
