Ok I finally got exactly what I want to say here it is:
St. George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and part of the British flag. St George's emblem was adopted by Richard The Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century. The king's soldiers wore it on their battle gear the pervent getting confused with the wrong soldiers.
St. George's Day is celebrated in many countries. For expample, Albania, England, and Kosovo. One of this holiday's purposes is to believe in god. There are 2 dates in which this holiday is celebrated. On may 6th, and May 23rd. Why is called St. George's Day? Because of St. George of course. Saint George is believed ot have been a roman soldier. Legen says he killed a dragon. There are many things that represent him, including a flag with a red cross on a white background.
