st georges day
Definition
Saint George's Day is the traditional feast day commemorating Saint George, the patron saint of England, celebrated annually on April 23.
It marks a day of English national pride, often featuring parades, flag-waving, and Morris dancing, though it's not a public holiday in England.
Historically linked to Shakespeare's birthday (or death), it's a cultural touchstone blending chivalry, dragons, and a bit of medieval flair.
