A celebration of this unusual holiday is usually bar-hopping while drinking green beer! My English friends do not celebrate and threaten mutiny if they even see a leprechaun! So this is in their honor...a bit about their own St. George!
What does the flag of St George look like?
This is the flag of St George is also the flag of England
Who was St St George?
A story dating back to the 6th century tells that St George rescued a maiden by slaying a fearsome fire-breathing dragon. The Saint's name was shouted as a battle cry by English knights who fought beneath the red-cross banner of St George during the Hundred Years War (1338-1453).
Just saying...that dragon is the size of a Labrador!
