WHO IS ST GEORGE AND WHY DO WE CELEBRATE ST GEORGES DAY ON THE 23rd OF APRIL

St. George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and part of the British flag. St George’s emblem was adopted by Richard The Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century. The king’s soldiers wore it on their tunics to avoid confusion in battle.

Like England, every country in the UK has its own patron saint who in times of great peril is called upon to help save the country from its enemies.

We celebrate St Georges day on the 23rd Of April each year as it is part of our history culture and is a celebration of our great country and our achievements throughout the millennia

So please fly your St Georges flags with pride in the knowing that they are not racist or offensive to anyone and should not be classed as so
