Happy St George's Day
St George's Day marked on 23 April each year, is upon us once again.
St George stands for the courage to face adversity in order to defend the innocent. The triumph of good over evil, through courage.
The choice of St George as England's patron saint was predominantly that of one man, King Edward III, who reigned from 1327 to 1377.
The dragon was not always a part of St George’s story
The earliest legend that features St George rescuing a princess from a dragon dates to the 11th century. It may have started simply as a way to explain icons of military saints slaying dragons, symbolising the triumph of good over evil.
