Some little known facts about George........
England ditched St Edward the Confessor for a new patron saint and, in 1415 (the year of the battle of agincourt), made April 23 a national feast day (though one possibly without
chicken tikka masala).
George is also the patron saint of
Portugal,
Germany,
Lithuania,
soldiers and - less obviously -
skin diseases and
syphilis.
ops:
George is also my fathers name and his birthday is April 23rd
