England celebrates St George's Day on 23rd April
The date of April 23rd is the chosen date for St George’s Day because that is the date that St. George died in 303 A.D.
Although St George is the Patron Saint of England the day is not marked with having a bank holiday or Public holiday like other Patron Saints Days are (St. Andrew’s day in Scotland and St Patrick’s day in Ireland).
It is not only England that has St George as their Patron Saint, but also other countries and cities such as Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia in Spain; Portugal, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Macedonia, and the city of Moscow in Russia, Genova in Italy, Ljubljana in Slovenia, Beirut in Lebanon plus others.
