St George's Day
Le 23/04/2025
St George is the patron saint of England.
His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and part of the British flag. It is England's national day but for most people it is just another ordinary working day. Even if a small festival in Trafalgar Square in London gathers food, drink, music and flags. Time to put a red rose in your button hole!
