Saint George

 23rd April

In Greece he is Agios Giorgios

Our main church is dedicated to St George so there will be a church  service on the eve with a parade of his icon through the neighbourhood and on the morning of the fiesta there will be a celebratory service.  George and Georgia are very popular names so the service will be well attended and afterwards there will be coffee and offerings of sweets and cakes

We have 3 family members celebrating 

Grandson George 

Great niece Georgia

Great nephew Djordje

Wishing you all Many more Happy Name Days and joyful celebrations

St George he was for England

And before he killed the dragon

He drank a pint of English ale out

Of an English flagon

 - GK Chesterton

I rather liked that.  I hope in England you celebrate as I image you should, flying the red and white St George's cross, with Morris dancing, a few pints of that English ale, roast beef, fish and chips and many cups of tea with cucumber sandwiches
