In recent times St.Georges day has become a popular UK party and celebration with even some quarters calls to make it a bank holiday.
April 23rd is St George’s Day. Find great ideas and list of events across England that celebrates St George and of course the patron saint who famously killed a dragon!St. George and the Dragon.Saint George is perhaps most famous for slaying a dragon. This is obviously a fictitious story and very little is known about the real St. George. The story of St. George and the Dragon dates back to the Middle Ages when the dragon was commonly used to represent evil, so it's an excellent tale of good triumphing over evil. Patron saintSt. George is the patron saint of Aragon, Canada, Catalonia, China, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Palestine, Portugal, Russia, and Serbia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.One company who is trying to ensure that St. Georges day goes with a bang is Novelties 4 Parties - http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk/department/st-georges-day/ Colours of Saint GeorgeThe "Colors of Saint George", or St George's Cross) are a white flag with a red cross, frequently borne by entities over which he is patron (e.g. England, Georgia, Liguria, Catalonia etc).The origin of the St George's Cross came from the earlier plain white tunics worn by the early crusaders. The celebration of St. George's Day<a href=" http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk/department/st-georges-day/</a> St. George's Day is not celebrated as much in England as other National Days are around the world. The celebration of St. George's Day was once a major feast in England on a par with Christmas from the early 15th century. However, this tradition had waned by the end of the 18th century. In recent years the popularity of St. George's Day appears to be increasing gradually. BBC Radio 3 had a full programme of St. George's Day events in 2006, and Andrew Rosindell, MP for Romford, has been putting his argument forward in the House of Commons to try to make St. George's Day a public holiday.Novelties 4 Parties offer great range of St. Georges Day fancy dress and party good – <a href=" http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk/department/st-georges-day/</a> or the full range at http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk Tel 08458 620 354 http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |
