Saint George's Day – Last issue of Explorer presented Saint George's Day in Barcelona, this issue, another variation of this day, in another country! The life of England's patron saint, shrouded in legend, is celebrated each year in the historic town of Salisbury with street theater, pageantry, dancing, wandering minstrels and ferocious dragons!
The story we know today of Saint George and the Dragon dates back to the 14th century. In the story, a dragon is terrorizing the villages near Silena, in Libya. Crowds are drawn in local villages, and maidens fed to the dragon to keep the peace. Saint George kills the dragon with a single blow from his lance, and then converts the locals to Christianity. Bring the family and join in the fun to honor Saint George! |
