Happy St Georgios Day to you as well! From a saint that UKIP would ban from entering to work in England and the wider UK!

Facts about St Georgios:
Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia)
Lived in 3rd century
His parents were Christian
Became a Roman soldier
Protested against Rome's persecution of Christians
Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith
Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine
I am patriotic about England, but it beats the hell out of me why we picked old Georgios! The first English Saint was St Alban - he also has a sign of a yellow diagonal cross with a dark blue background.
