St George is the patron saint of many countries and areas:

Portugal, Georgia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Venice, Genoa, Portugal, Ethiopia and Catalonia. Not to mention Lithuania, Palestine, , Germany, Greece, Moscow, Istanbul, Valencia, Aragon, Bulgeria, and parts of Brazil. Oh .... and England.

Allegedly born in Turkey his Mother took him to live in Syria. He joined the Roman Army and was subsequently imprisoned by them for years and executed in 303 AD.

So if you live anywhere in the World that has this 'dragon slayer' as a patron saint - I wish you a happy day with your celebrations :)

A firm favourite for many centuries. The first convent in Bohemia, founded in 973 AD at Prague Castle by the Benedictines, was dedicated to St George, for example :)

Happy St George's Day! :)

:O I had no idea he was patron saint of so many!

Happy St. George's day everyone. We should probably go slay some dragons to mark the occasion.

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

Remember Caz. Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
