all i know is you can either dress up as A Princess or a Dragon or wear Red and White....WOW... that's all it takes to celebrate St Georges day and it would of been much better if they made it a national holiday.:)
Ok so i found some TIPS on how to celebrate this fine day:
English style clothes - optional
Food and drink, if you are having a party
Money
Music - optional
Uhmmm ok..oh and heres a brief history lesson "The Story of the Dragon and St George" (just so you know..lol)
...."In the fully-developed Western version, a dragon makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city of "Silene" (perhaps modern Cyrene) in Libya or the city of Lydda, depending on the source. Consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, in order to collect water. To do so, each day they offer the dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden must go instead of the sheep. The victim is chosen by drawing lots. One day, this happens to be the princess. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the dragon, but there appears Saint George on his travels. He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the cross,[18] slays it and rescues the princess. The grateful citizens abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to Christianity."
