Smile Happy Saint George's Day
OK, so he was born in Palestine, never came to England, & probably didn't kill any dragons... but he's still the Patron Saint of England & my fellow English CF members


So Happy Saint George's Day

Having taken my confirmation name as George in honour of St George I take today as my 2nd official birthday. Therefore I am having a day off of work

Re: Happy Saint George's Day
According to a friend of mine, he is also Patron Saint of - Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Germany and Greece. He's also the Patron Saint of the Scout movement, soldiers, archers, cavalrymen and chivarly, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphillis!

well that just about sums us English up!

Whoever or whatever he is, I hope you all celebrate his day (and that's from a Scot).
