SAINT GEORGE PATRON SAINT


It's traditional to celebrate Sant Jordi in Catalonia, and Saint George is also celebrated in England and in Georgia. In IES S'Agulla we celebrate Sant Jordi. In S'Agulla there is a contest with poems and stories of Sant Jordi. The languages of the contest are English, Spanish, French and Catalan. The books day is on 23rd April.

In Catalonia, we have a Patron Saint, he is Saint George. In England is Saint George, too. The legend is the same. His day is 23rd April, this day is the Book Day because William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died on this date.
The history comes from a war between the Christian religion and the old religions in Rome. The Christian symbol was Saint George and the old religions symbol was the dragon. In the war, the Christians killed the old religions. Saint George is from Turkey.
In London there are jugglers and famous people in the street this day.
In Catalonia there are many stalls in the streets on 23rd April. The boys give roses to the girls and the girls give books to the boys. In the primary school we did paintings in Sant Jordi’s Contest at weekend.

In Catalonia, England and Georgia, Saint George is the Patron Saint. This is celebrated on 23rd in April. But in England don't celebrate this day, in Catalonia celebrates. In Catalonia the women give a book to men, because it's the book's day, and the men give a red rose to women,because in the legend the blood of dragon transformed in a red rose. In London celebrate different activities in the street. I like when in the school celebrate a literaty contest. Saint George was from Turkey.

In England doesn't celebrate Saint George Day but here yes. But Saint George day also is the Patron Saint in Georgia. In England is not holiday on 23rd April. But Saint George isn't from England or from Catalonia, he is from Turkey. Saint George legend is a Christian Legend. In Catalonia the women give a book to her partner and the men give a rose to his partner. But the tradition of give a book is because on 23rd April William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died.
