Very happy St George's Day, that is always held on 23rd April. However, this year it will be held on the 28th April because the Church decided to push it back this year as they didn't want confusion over Easter.
The story of George and the dragon has been taught to many children and is a favourite adventure fantasy romance of a knight defeating the dragon and rescuing a beautiful lady and then they fall in love.
It's celebrated in many countries and especially in England as St George is the patron saint. St George's Day is a significant Christian festival. It can also be celebrated by Pagans and other non Christians. It's often held throughout the country in many towns and cities.
People can be seen enjoying feasts and entertainments. Many go wearing costumes, as some dressed as knights while others ride horses. Medieval themed parades, plays, music and parties. There are men in armour, ladies on stilts, Morris Dancers, and huge puppet dragons. There is much fun and excitement.
