Thread Name: Happy St George's Day!
Subject: RE: Happy St George's Day!
Born in Turkey, raised in Israel, soldier for the Italians. Took over as patron saint of England in the late 1300s from St. Edmund, then was downgraded by the Pope in 1893 and is no longer patron saint of England. However, he is patron saint of Portugal, Montenegro Georgia, Canada...
And he had an appalling record on preservation of endangered species.
But I shall be out dancing the Morris to celebrate.
