The Story Behind St George

Every year, The Feast of Saint George, Patron Saint of England is celebrated on April 23rd. People across England come together to celebrate St George’s Day — a day dedicated to the country’s patron saint. While it's not a public holiday, the occasion holds great cultural and historical value. St George is famously known for slaying a dragon, a story that has come to symbolize bravery and the fight against evil.

St George wasn’t from England at all. He was born in what is now Turkey and served as a soldier in the Roman army. According to Christian tradition, he was executed on April 23 in the year 303 AD after refusing to give up his faith. He later became a martyr and was honored as a saint.

Modern-Day Celebrations

While it’s no longer a national holiday, events still take place around the country. In 2025, London’s Leadenhall Market will host Morris dancing, and a free concert by the Band of the Coldstream Guards will take place at The Guards’ Chapel. A garden party at St George’s Garden in Waterloo will take place including gardening workshops.
