This was going to be my Wordless Wednesday but then I decided I wanted to say some words!
St George is the patron saint of England, so really I should have featured the St George’s Cross, not the Union flag. But hey, I like this photo.
St George is a popular chap: he has many patronages other than England. I knew that Catalonia was one, but according to Wikipedia so are all these:
Georgia, Egypt, Bulgaria, Aragon, Romania, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Serbia, Macedonia, Ukraine, Russia and Syria, as well as the cities of Genoa, Amersfoort, Beirut, Botoşani, Drobeta Turnu-Severin, Timişoara, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg im Breisgau, Kragujevac, Kumanovo, Ljubljana, Pérouges, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lydda, Lviv, Barcelona, Moscow and Victoria.
HI Debbie Happy St George’s Day.. That chap is difinately British!

I hope, Margaret, that you’re not implying that everybody with such dreadful dress sense is definitely British!

I didn’t realise it was St George’s day…And I am English (hang my head in shame). Also didn’t know he was patron of other places too! 🙂

Looks like he got around a bit! Maybe there were young maidens to rescue in all those countries!
