Happy St. Georges Day, England’s national day.
In honour of the day, we are sharing an article about England's patron saint, best known for slaying a dragon and rescuing a princess.
George is hailed as an English hero but was in fact born in modern-day Turkey and never actually set foot in England. St. George also has a Swedish connection, which is probably even more distant than his British one!
