St George

I thought he was born in Turkey and his mother was from Palestine (now the Israel part), also part Persian and was a Roman soldier from a Christian family.
He is also the patron saint of several other countries.
So quite cosmopolitan!

Alishka the children made "self-portrait" dolls for Mother's Day.
Left to right they are the same 2 year old boy, a 4 year old girl, 8 year old girl and 10 year old boy.

We may think of St George as English but he was Greek but then the same applies to Prince Phillip

V3ra, perhaps you both can customise some other kitchen tools? You both seem to have a special talent, it'd be fun to do, and it would be lovely to see and give us a laugh

Happy St George's Day everyone.

All Hail to St.George!

FACT of the Fiction

During the Middle Ages people turned to St.George for help during epidemic diseases,including leprosy and Plague.
Never more relevant than today, surely?

God for (the Queen!) England, and St George, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Prince Louis! Not forgetting Shakespeare, birth and death!!

Happy St George's Day to everyone. I would have put the flag out, but sadly only seems acceptable to do that when England are playing football!

Two year old and I have made a fire-breathing dragon out of felt and a kitchen spatula ?

Oh goodness, I only just realised the date.

Happy St George's day to English Gransnetters, whever you may be ??????? ?

Happy St. George’s day to you all! ???????

I always wonder if Shakespeare got to open his birthday presents before he died.

Happy St George's Day everyone! ???????

Got my special tea towel out for the occasion?????????????????????

it's also the date of Shakespeare's birthday, and co-incidentally the same date that he died.

Happy St.Georges Day folks ??

Cry God for Harry, England and St George [not the present day Harry]

St George's Day? Is it? I've barely got my head around what day of the week it is.

I'm quizmaster in our family Zoom quiz tonight. I'd better get some questions about England in there. And get looking for that flag we bought for a long ago World Cup.

Happy St George's day to all English GNs and family members from the Gower.

My WP has his special top and socks on today ?
