St George's Day

Here's something I stole from a book:


In the 13th Century, replacing Edward the Confessor, St George became the patron saint of England, but little is known about him save that he lived in the 4th Century and died in Palestine. Although a red rose is often associated with this day, the saint's colour is in fact blue, and it is traditional to wear something blue. St George appears in many Mummers' Plays at Easter and Christmas. He is the patron saint of Norwich. The Cuckoo Fair at Orelton, Hereford and Worcester was held on this day.
