St George only gained popularity in England in the 15th century, and Richard the Lionheart had nothing to do with his adoption as the nation’s patron saint.

#StGeorgesDay. “How the good Knight St. George of England slew the dragon and set the Princess free,” a glowing #stainedglass panel designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Note the coiling tail—it's been a real battle! The princess can't bear to look! https://victorianweb.org/art/stainedglass/dgr/4.html. #stainedglass

🏴 St. George’s Day = Yorkshire Dales in their glory (we might be biased).

Lace up, conquer Pen-y-ghent’s slopes, or wander around Ribblehead’s viaduct.

Where do you like to hike in England?

Spotted this stained glass window in St Mark's Church, Millfield in Sunderland on a Heritage Open Day visit.
Portraying England's patron St George attempting to fight off a fearsome-looking dragon.
Although St George never actually set foot in England, his reputation for virtue and holiness had spread far and wide across Europe.
St George's feast day, the 23rd April, began to be celebrated in England from the 9th century onwards and following the 'Battle of Agincourt' in 1415, St George's Day became one of the most important feast days in the English calendar.

"I saw the UK through the eyes of my French in-laws - and it was deeply embarrassing"

England has turned to shit innit. And yesterday, the BBC could only mark the national day with a wonderful music programme featuring mostly Scandinavian players.
