ReplyDeleteWe are looking at your Web site and finding out all about St George – thank you for a fantastic Website!
ReplyDeleteWe are celebrating in our school by having a party in the playground this afternoon. We are all dressed in Red and White!
Thanks,
Year 4 and Tyldesley Primary School
Wonderful, just come across it will pass to my grandchildren. Was reading about St George and of course as it happens, today is St George’ s Day. I knew he was also the patron saint of Greece but did not realize just how many more countries and cities had St George as their patron saint.from Wikipedia:St. George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you publicising St. George as we do not make enough fuss of him in England.
ReplyDeletePut out the flags!
well done – you kids have done yourselves proud. happy st george’s day to you all!
ReplyDeleteI would like to congratulate you on this fabulous page, and for ensuring your children know about St George’s Day, more schools could benefit from following suit. I am a College Lecturer and I willing to bet most of my students have never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteWell, done. I lived in Canada for a while and July 1 is Canada Day a national holiday, I was in Ottawa for it last year, it was a great day! They also celebrate over here in Trafalgar Sq, but sadly the English do not seem to care about it, or take pride in our country.
Hi have a great …St George.s
ReplyDeleteday, and this is a great website to learn from.

ReplyDeleteRandom, generally clueless American thanks you very much for this site~! I knew yesterday was St. George’s Day, but i didn’t know any particulars. So thank you! (And Happy (late) Birthday, England. ;D)
ReplyDeletehappy st georges day!
ReplyDeletein our school we decorated it really cool and one teacher told a cool story
abigail
my cousin´s name is George!
ReplyDeletehappy st George day!
Maybe St George’s day isn’t celebrated by the English because we feel that we are not allowed to be proud of being English in case of being labelled a racist. England is not England anymore!
ReplyDeleteits my birthday and lets not foget the great bard himself WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR who was born and died on ST GEORGES DAY lets make it a national holiday
ReplyDeleteGreat site! Alot of good information on here 😀
ReplyDeleteI am from America so I personaly dont know much but Ive learned a lot and im currently living in France and in English we are doing a project about St. Georges Day!
Go fight win St. George!!!!!
LOVE THE SITE!
ReplyDeleteGo Fight Win St. George! <3
"some people will wear a red rose, the national flower of England.". Beg to differ, that would be a "White Rose"
ReplyDeleteIt is such a wonderful day, because, you know, George was just so English. But really, it's fine to have him as our patron saint. i rememeber celebrating it at primary school, a lot (each year). Good website, helps with my school's 'Thought for the Day'.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and have a lovely day when it comes, and anyone else's day when it comes if he is not your patron saint. 😉

I want to celebrate St. George's Day at our school. I am an American teaching at a British School, but they have no plans to celebrate. Ideas? By the way, the school is in the Middle East – very near Cappadoccia (birthplace of the saint himself!)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to celebrate St Georges day at my Nursery in North Yorkshire i think everyone should celebrate our patron saint..
ReplyDeleteWe are going to dress up, make flags, paint our faces,make shields,make red roses and Dragons, bring it on.
I am going to celebrate St George's day at school and we are all going to have a special assembly then after that we are going to be given a rose and a chocolate bar. I can wait.
ReplyDelete?????????????????
MORE INFORMATION PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW MORE SO I CAN UNDERSTAND ABOUT HIM.
ReplyDeleteIM NOT GOIN TO CELEBRATE IT BECAUE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DRAGONS, THEIR IS ONLY DRAGON FLIES NO DRAGONS.
I live in Kentucky, USA and I always celebrated St. Georges Day by flying the Union Jack and dining on fish and chips.
ReplyDeletewell here in Adelaide, me and a fair few friends are dressing up in a Red and White Theme and are heading out into town to a British (Which still covers England and has good English Beer) and celebrating. 🙂

I'm Ted from Ipswich. I will be celebrating the day by singing, together with my friends Josie and Shirley (sisters), to entertain the folks at the Ashburnham Club at Needham Market community centre. I found your site when looking for information on the history of St George and his day.
ReplyDeletePaul in Louisville
ReplyDeleteHaving cocktail party with a distinguished guest from Yorkshire and some local Anglophiles. Flying the flag on the car and house. Cheers !
Here in Trinidad & Tobago the UK Women's Club will be celebrating at a local restaurant. The menu is either Fish & Chips OR Roast Beef & Yorkshire pudding, followed by apple pie and ice cream.
ReplyDeleteWe will toast St. George with some red wine!
today we're selebrating st georgie. he's my hero! he was so strong when he fort that dragon. and actually, Maya, dragons did exist, but then they died in the Battle of Hastings, because Harold tried to use them, but William used his weapons and killed them off one by one. It's devasting- MASS JENOCIDE!!!!
ReplyDeleteglad to see St Georgie is still being remembered, even tho hes a dragon slayer and has no consideration and has no consideration for animal rights…. ROCK ON ENGLAND! love kacey
Im am very proud to be English and remember learning all about Saint george when i was in primary school.. I'm so glad some schools are still celebrating .. Loved this site too :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm giving my children English Muffins (sort of like crumpets) for breakfast this morning. We are wearing small English flag pins and because we are Orthodox Christians, we are singing a special prayer (troparian) to St. George this morning. Wish I had roses in my garden, though!
ReplyDeletewe are having a big party on sat in horley surrey last year attended by5,000 this year will be bigger and better
ReplyDeleteits even bigger than the xmas celebrations
Love the site. More people should celebrate St Georges day and stop with the St Patricks stuff unless you're Irish. Why don't we have a national holiday for this? It's ludicrous. Every other nation has national pride! Why not us?
ReplyDeleteI am proud to be half English and I love our history and traditions. I work in a restaurant in Plymouth and I put a huge English flag in the window. Every customer loved it, but they all remarked how unpatriotic the majority of our people are. Why don't we celebrate our past more often, we have a fabulous history and England should be proud of it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not British or English, I think this legend of St. George is very… awesome I hsould say. I wish America celebrates this awesome national holiday as well, my class and I often go back in our textbook and reread the story of this famous legend,St. Geroge and the Dragon
