On Thursday we are going to celebrate Saint George´s Day. This day is special for us because it’s our Saint Valentine’s Day. But who was Saint George? What happened on the 23rd of April and how do we celebrate it?

St. George was born in Cappadocia , he was Christian like his parents, and he lived during the time when the Cristians were being persecuted.

The legend says that many centuries ago in a small village there was a dragon, and one day the dragon wanted to eat the princess, and when the dragon wanted to eat the princess, Saint George appeared with his white horse and with his spear, killed the dragon and in the dragon blood appeared a rose that Saint George gave as a present to the princess.

On the 23rd of April the boys give roses to their girls, and the girls give the boys a book to read, because the 23rd of April is the day of the book.
