Saint George Day in Catalonia

On the 23th of April we celebrate Saint George Day. But who was Saint George? What did he do on the 23th of April? How do we celebrate it? And how do other countries celebrate it?

Saint George was the Guard of Emperor Diocletian and was Christian. On the 23th of April he died because of his religious thoughts. It was a time when Christians were prosecuted and executed. The traditional legend says that Saint George killed a dragon to save a village and its princess.
In Catalonia, we celebrate Saint George Day in a special way: boys buy roses for the girls they love because the legend says that when Saint George killed the dragon, the blood of the dragon turned into a rose. Girls buy books for the boys they love, because the 23rd of Arpril is the day when Shakespeare and Cervantes died.
Saint George Day is not only celebrated in Catalonia. Saint George is also England’s Patron Saint. Although it is not celebrated, just in a few places where they play old sports, they act as in the middle age and they eat traditional food.

In other parts of the world there are different celebrations: people go to church, to processions, prepare traditional food (roast lamb in Bulgaria) and sing and dance folk music as in Serbia.

Saint George was a very important person because he became an important religious figure (he was considered the defender of the Christian faith) in many countries around the world.
