Re: Happy St Georges Day
We should also remember those people who were born on this day.
From the UK:
William Shakespeare
J.M.W.Turner
and from just across the pond:
J.P.Donleavy
Roy Orbison
They have all brought joy and heartbreak to lovers of the written word, art, and music.

Re: Happy St Georges Day
Happy St George's day to all. St George is not only the patron Saint of England but also Bulgaria, Palestine, Ethiopia, Greece and Lithuania. Most famously he is the patron Saint of Georgia where his day is celebrated twice yearly and is believed to be the reason for the country's name.
Despite being adopted as the patron saint of England, St George wasn't actually English, and most likely never stepped foot in the country. Born around 280 AD, in what is now known as Cappadocia, Turkey, St George was a Christian martyr and became a soldier in the Roman army, later progressing to the role of a personal guard for the Emperor Diocletian.
The emperor was one of the leaders of the Great Persecution of Christians, where churches were destroyed, scriptures were burnt and followers of the religion were prohibited from joining the army and assembling for worship.
But his personal guard, St George, protested against the persecution and remained dedicated to his Christian faith, consequently facing imprisonment and torture. He was later beheaded in Palestine on April 23, AD 303.
He officially became the patron saint of England around 1348, after individual Edward III established the Order of the Garter in his name. From the 14th Century, St George was regarded as a special protector of the English and following England's victory at Agincourt in 1415 Archbishop Chichele raised the celebration of St George to a double feast.
Shakespeare made sure St George was never forgotten, concluding the Henry V, Act III, speech with ‘Cry God for Harry, England and St George'.
St George's Cross, which is England's flag and now forms part of the Union Jack, is the symbol displayed on April 23. Dating back to the year of 1188, crosses were first used by individual Henry II of England and individual Philip II of France for their crusade symbols. Edward I eventually made this symbol a national emblem during his reign.

Re: Happy St Georges Day
Absolutely certain his name was not George, same as our St Andrew. As an aside dont you find it absolutely infuriating that Monarchs of Nations outwith Thailand (even before Thailand existed) become "individuals" as soon as the dreaded K word is used.
