St George's Day
On this day our flags do fly
For it is St. George's day, oh my
A time to celebrate our land
And hold our heritage close at hand
For we are proud to be English, you see
Through the ages, our spirit runs free
With history rich and culture strong
We sing our praises all day long
From the rolling hills to the bustling streets
Our diversity, no one can beat
With accents, customs, and traditions abound
In our proud nation, we are tightly wound
From Shakespeare's sonnets to the Beatles' songs
Our creativity has no bounds
With literature, art, and music galore
Our talents we proudly explore
From fish and chips to afternoon tea
Our cuisine brings us much glee
With a love for a good old cup of tea
We raise our pinkies with such dignity
From knights and castles to modern-day flair
Our architecture is beyond compare
With landmarks that stand the test of time
In our nation, we are truly sublime
Though not without our faults and stains
We embrace our past, learn from our pains
For it is the journey that makes us whole
And unites us as one, heart and soul
So on this day, let's raise a glass
To our lovely land, let's give it a pass
For we are proud to be English, it's true
And on St. George's day, we celebrate you.

It's St Georges day today. As a proud Englishwoman, I just had to draw something new for this day, so I spent some time previously trying to complete this piece. I kind of drew it badly, but at least I finished it. 🏴🐴
On a separate note, I plan to draw this piece again sometime as an improved version with extra elements. I wanted to do this justice after all... I'm just hoping I can do so in future.
This was completed using graphite pencil and red ink on A3 sized paper. Cheers for stopping by!

St. George’s Day
Legend has it that St. George slayed a dragon and saved a princess. Today, his bravery is celebrated worldwide, inspiring us to be courageous.
Named after St. George, the patron saint of England, St. George’s Day is a cultural and national holiday marked with events and celebrations, including parades, music, and traditional English food. It is an important part of English culture and heritage, and is a time for people to come together and celebrate their country and its history.
History of St. George’s Day
St. George was a soldier in the Roman army who is venerated as a saint and is the patron saint of England. According to legend, he was a brave and noble knight who fought against evil and injustice. The most famous legend about St. George is that he slayed a dragon that was terrorizing a town and threatening to kill a princess. In the story, St. George rode up on his horse, drew his sword, and killed the dragon, saving the princess and the town.
There are many different versions of the legend of St. George, and it is unclear how much of it is based on fact and how much is myth. However, St. George is still widely revered as a symbol of courage, and his story has inspired many people over the years.
In reality, St. George was likely a real person who lived in the 3rd or 4th century AD. He was born in Palestine and later became a Roman soldier. He is believed to have been martyred for his Christian faith, and was later canonized as a saint.
St. George’s Day has been celebrated in England for centuries, with the earliest recorded celebrations dating back to the 12th century, when he was named the patron saint of England. At the time, St. George was already a popular saint in the Christian world, and he was revered for his bravery and selflessness.
Over the centuries, St. George’s Day became an important holiday in England, and it was observed with various ceremonies and celebrations. In the Middle Ages, St. George’s Day was a major feast day, and people would attend church services, hold parades, and hold feasts in his honor.
How to Celebrate St. George’s Day
St. George’s Day is typically celebrated in England on April 23rd every year, and one of the most common ways it’s celebrated is through parades and processions. These may include marching bands, floats, and groups of people dressed in traditional English costumes. In some places, people may also hold festivals or fairs with food, music, and other entertainment.
If you would like to celebrate St. George’s Day, there are many ways to do so, here are a few ideas:
Fly the Flag
One way to celebrate St. George’s Day is by flying the English flag. This can be done by hanging a flag outside your home or office, or by wearing a flag pin or clothing item that features the flag. This is a simple and visible way to show your support for England and its patron saint.
Attend a Parade
Many towns and cities in England hold parades on St. George’s Day, featuring traditional costumes, music, and activities. This is a fun and festive way to celebrate the day and experience English culture.

You can also make your own version of these dishes, or try a recipe for a classic English dessert such as trifle or Bakewell tart.
