圣乔治节(4 月 23 日,纪念英格兰主保圣人的节日) CultureAlthough St George's Day is the national day of England, it is not a holiday.The legend of St George says that he was a hero who killed a dragon to save a princess and in many pictures of him, he is shown standing over a dragon with a sword.The real St George, however, is thought to have been a soldier in the Roman army in the first century who was a Christian and was executed because he refused to kill other Christians.
