Malt 379 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder how many of the patriotic people celebrating St. georges day realise that he wasn't English and never ever set foot on English soil? And I doubt whether he really killed a dragon! He was a turkish (Anatolian) martyr who was killed by the romans. He was no more English than st Andrew is Scottish ,or st Patrick was Irish.. Only one of the home Nations can boast a native national saint... Some historians believe he was actually a roman soldier, and he was supposedly born in Syria not Turkey, but you just don't like him 'cos of his alleged killing of the dragon! It wasn't the welsh dragon you div! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
