walshie 2,804 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Was he English? Is jocks never learnt about him, so why don't one you clever English men tell us a bit about the man? St Andrew wasn't Scottish but you still have St Andrews Day. St George is our patron saint wherever he hailed from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcherman 887 13,154 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 No connection he just stood for what england wanted to project Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,154 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 St George is also the patron saint of Portugal, Venice, Beirut, Malta, Ethiopia, Georgia, the Palestinian terrorities, Serbia and Lithuania. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,154 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 , a patron saint did not have to be from the country they were born in - they just needed to embody the characteristics the kingdom wanted to project to the outside world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
