Today is Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day), one of the most beloved traditional holidays in Catalonia ❤️ the day of literature, love, and the Catalan language.
In these two images, you can find an explanation of this tradition. The first photo is an auca, a way of explaining stories with drawings and rhymes that is traditional from Catalonia and has been very popular between the 1600s and the 1930s and to a lesser extent still done nowadays.
I wish everyone a happy Sant Jordi with lots of books and love, and in a time when the right-wing furiously attacks our language and culture, a day of fight for Catalan language and literature.

The Wedding of Saint George and Princess Sabra (1857) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is currently on show at Tate Britain as part of the exhibition "The Rossettis".
I particularly like the way Sabra is gazing balefully at the crate containing a severed dragon’s head and wondering why it’s STILL cluttering up her living room when George PROMISED he’d put it away, or at least take it to the taxidermist, but did he? NO, he did not. And so it's still there and the whole place smells of putrefying reptile.
