Saint George is on the 23rd of April and he is patron saint of England.
His emblem is a red cross on a white background :
Saint George was a brave Roman soldier. The Roman Emperor was a pagan who workshipped many gods, he began to persecute Catholics. He protested against the Romans' torture of Christians and died for his beliefs.
A story dating back to the 6th century tells that St George rescued a maiden from a fire-breathing dragon.
