Far more interesting fact for this day - on the 23rd of April 2005, the very first Youtube video was published

I'm not actually English, but having lived here for many years and sounding very English, I'll celebrate it in the way I always do - not at all, partly because saints are so much woo just like all other religious concepts and partly because I loathe that particular form of patriotism with which St. George's Day has become associated. In fact, until seeing this post I had no idea it even was St. George's Day.

And he slew a giant of a Dragon!!

Ha Ha - A large proportion of English folk celbrate St Patricks day because it's an event put on by a Real community within a town or its an event that is sponsored by Drink manufactuer. St Georges day simply isnt. It really is that simple. Isn't it. (I actually thought St George was Irish in origin and he killed dragons and stuff) Oh . . Isnt it Shirley Temple day today as well.

I was raised Greek Orthodox and the celebration of name days (saint days) are more important than birthdays. Ugh!! I just can't anymore. My mother still tells me every May 21st "happy name day, I know you don't care". I just shake my head at her and carry on.

I'll ignore it too. Religious holidays aren't for me. More English people went out for St Patrick's until they dug up Nigel Farage to bait everyone lol ? ?

My spelling...Emperor

I celebrate St. Georges day by ignoring it. It is another Tory, fascist celbration of fake political propaganda while they asset strip Britain on behalf of the USA corporates and replace TTIP with BREXIT. LOL

LOL..St George's Day? My brother in law (my Sister's husband) gets his own holiday? I'll admit he is as close to a saint as anyone is going to get in my family. He is a career paramedic and now Captian in the LA fire department and Father to two beautiful daughters (Prairie (named after my Mother) and Sienna) but how come there isn't a St. Scott's Day?

Nope.
