Happy St Georges Day to all DANNers, L-ARM and all 'our' Friends and Allies who are 'martyr's' (that is non-violent martyr's; don't take it too-literally) to the continued poltical cause to 'FREEOURPEOPLE'..... See links:-http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.18575 Google link:- http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=st+george's+day Things you never knew about St George
The results of an English Heritage survey found that almost half the respondents believed St George was one of the mythical knights of King Arthur’s Round Table. In fact, he was a Roman army officer – which fewer than 20% of people knew! To follow are few other facts that maybe you didn’t know about St George!
Although he’s the patron saint of England, St. George was actually born in Israel and probably never visited here.
St George is also the patron saint on Canada, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Serbia and Catalonia as well as many charities and cities including Moscow.
St. George was a worthy solider in the Roman army and earned himself a position of nobility.
St. George was born in 270 AD, that’s over 1700 years ago. He died aged just 33.
St George was given his sainthood because he refused to carry out the persecution of the Christians which was demanded of him by his leader in the Roman army, and was then tortured and killed himself.
St George’s Day is celebrated in England on the 23rd April. This is said to be the date he died (or the date of his martyrdom).
The banner of St George is a white flag with a red cross, and is used as the Flag of England. This call was used to encourage bravery before soldiers went into battle.
