"Odd" isn't quite the word I'd have chosen. (-: A good reminder that history is long and the Roman Empire was a big and quite cosmopolitan place.

After all, the very idea of English people didn't exist until several centuries later, when the Angles came over.

Aaah, with the traditional argument with my brother in law. Like Godwins Law but the conversation always somehow turns to Islam. He's very angry with the Muslims for some reason I can't get to the bottom of. Apparently they have a constant & significant impact on his life. He's vaguely asserted that 'they're taking over' and 'there are too many', which is why it's VITALLY IMPORTANT we celebrate St George's Day. How? By having a roast dinner. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫡

Today is Saint George's day, the patron saint of , and many other regions and towns. The historical George of Lydda is purportedly buried in (Lydda), a city in Israel. The photo below was taken by me at the catacomb of the Church of Saint George in Lod, where his tomb can be visited.

Obviously not enough people are following @lindasgoluppiart and @Welshracer. It is amusing that the two people who reminded us about this first today, in the wee small hours as they both do, both express Welsh connections. (-:

Cry 'God for Harry! and !'. Happy for a bit of red & white.

However, I am no ; rather a person who comprehends that humans, creatures, plants, viruses, bacteria, etc. are all interdependent on our tiny speck of the Cosmos. It follows that we need other countries too. Glorious isolation à la BREXIT / BREXSHIT is a cul-de-sac.

I love that England’s patron-saint is shared my so many other nations and regions of the World. Happy folks!

The 15th-century icon depicts one of the miracles of St. George, who rescued the king’s daughter from the dragon sent to the city as a divine retribution for paganism. The story of this miracle was the most favorite and common theme in the Ukrainian icon painting. The icon is currently in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

Christmas Tree Festival in Heaviley, Stockport.

Every year this is a great way to start Advent - we even got the teenager out for this one.

Sorry about the long alt text, I am a religious architecture nerd. 🤓

Happy Birthday, Bill.

Shakespeare's birthday is also celebrated today, April 23rd, St. George's day. Although there is no documentary evidence of his birthdate, it is known that he was baptised on April 26th, 1564. So, a birthdate three days earlier is possible.

It is also known that he died on April 23rd 1616.

St. George (Sant Jordi) is also the patron saint of Catalonia.

Today is therefore a good time to remember Jordi Cuixart & Jordi Sànchez, two of the Catalan political prisoners held in Spanish jails.
