St. Georges Day

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.

Georgios

Unpronounceable greek name that belongs to a talented, charismatic and playful man.
Curiosity and ambition guide him to grow and improve himself. His future is bright and he is meant to achieve bigger and greater things.
Georgios has a generous and altruistic side, that sometimes can make him lose the perception between what he really wants and what other people want. That’s because, deep down, he has some uncertainties about himself and his value.
If he will focus on discovering and recognising what a wonderful and rare person he is already, he will find true happiness and peace.
It’s an honour being part of his life.
"Once you met Georgios, you will not forget him (...who knows if it's a good thing or a bad thing!)"
