In our St George’s Day video featuring St George churches across our diocese, we ask: If St George never visited England, or killed a dragon, why do we celebrate him today?
St George’s Day – observed on Thursday 23 April this year – will be a day of celebration in churches across and beyond the Church of England. Could you host an event around music, dance, and food celebrating our multi-cultural identity in England reflecting how diverse communities celebrate the day?
Celebrate the cross of St George as symbol of unity for everyone , say Bishops
