    It's funny but I actually first learned of St. George from coin collecting. The British Sovereign gold coin feautures a rendition of Saint George slaying the dragon.

    Random fact of the day.

    St. George, patron saint of England. I think it's a feast day, in the liturgical sense.

    Oh, is that today? I never know when it is - it comes and goes every year without so much as a fuss. St. Patrick's day is all the rage.

    England must be one of the few countries that don't celebrate their national day all that much. Shame really.

    The good thing about St George is that he is a patron for Christians and Muslims alike.

    It is a shame but usually English pride is seen as racist because it's linked to certain bigoted groups. It's a shame the few ruin it for the rest. Happy St. George's Day :slight_smile:
