SAINT GEORGE

Saint George feast is celebrated on the 23^rd April. The most famous activity is to give a book to your boyfriend or husband and a rose to your girlfriend or wife.

This traditional day has a legend:

“Once upon a time there was a kingdom with a king, a queen and a princess. One day, a dragon arrived and ate all the sheep and the fruits of the kingdom. It also ate people, but one day he kidnapped the princess. When the dragon went to eat her, a knight arrived and killed the dragon and rescued the princess. From the blood of the dragon grew a beautiful rose”.
