Well, although I agree with you, it still doesn't address that St George's Day isn't a comparison with a religious occasion.


Technically it is, being a saints day venerating a Christian martyr.

I suppose so but not the same thing as a religious festival.

Now St Patrick's Day, St Andrew's...those would be the more appropriate comparisons.

You can see why the Irish take theirs a bit more seriously. If the rules were no beer allowed on St Patricks Day it would be far less popular.

I think the veneration of the saints is a bit more of a Catholic than a Protestant thing so that may play into why traditionally it isn't such a big thing. St George's Day seems much more a patriotic and nationalistic rather than a religious thing now.

These days, they'll throw you in jail if you say it's St George's Day....


It's disgusting. If it wasn't for St George we'd be speaking Dragon! Some people need to show more respect.
