The day of England's patron saint, St. George. Celebrated in England on April 23, which, by a strange coincidence, is also the approximate birthday of William Shakespeare (and the day he died as well).
Festivities in England include wearing the English flag (which is called the St. George's cross) or anything red or white and singing the hymn 'Jerusalem'.
It also happens to be the day that the Queen announces new appointments to the Order of the Garter.
As St. George is also the patron saint of the Scouting Movement, Scout troops join in a parade on this day.
Unfortunatly, it is not celebrated as much as Christmas and such.
St. George was not actually English, but Turkish, and is also the Saint of many other countries and cities, but is probably most famous for being the patron saint of England.

Jim was wearing nothing but an English Flag and singing 'Jerusalem' at the top of his voice stumbling home last night from the pub. Well, that's what you get for downing 6 pints of bitter on St. Georges Day.

Get the st george girls high school mug.The girls of St George Girls High School.
Despite being tied down by strict uniform policies and school rules, the St George Girls still manages to somehow look downright gorgeous!
It's in the genes...
Everyone talks about how they hate the Techies (see Sydney Tech), but deep down inside they know they'd rather have them as our brother school (we've grown to put up with their geeky ways).
One thought though, the St George and Tech uniforms are totally different. The St George uniform is navy (like our neighbours The Marists) and the Tech uniform is maroon (like their neighbours The Bethanies). Why don't we exchange uniforms? Dibs on navy, we don't want maroon.
Candy-striped, tie-wearing JUNIORS aside, the St George Girls senior uniform is one of the (relatively) good looking uniforms around (our sympathy goes out to those who must wear potato sacks).
We are all strong, 'independently minded young women'.
