Happy st George's day :)

[Alan 45]

I've read that he was from modern day Syria or Palestine, but of Greek origin......but who knows if he actually even existed. As far as I know dragons didn't exist at the time The hagiography of saints is not an exact science, no offence to any 'believers'.

Cheers

Yeah it's a strange one but I like to think of him as the patron saint of son in laws lol

Isn't St George the patron saint of Catalonia as well as England (and various others)?Steve

Exactly Steve, He is our Patron as well
