discussion Saint George!

Saint George!!


Today is a very important and lovely day on Catalonia


If you walk around, all the streets are full of people selling roses and books! Is magic!!


So, today..., my “latest acquisitions” will be an amount of books, many and many books. Not brushes, paints or plastic kits...


This afternoon I will post some pics with them

Saint's days and many 'holy' days were holidays way back when. You can blame the Reformation and later Oliver Cromwell for our lack of holidays.


Martin Luther might have been a killjoy, but Cromwell and his 'Godly Party' banned all holidays, except Sundays. Everything else smelt of Rome


Anyway wasn't dear old St George a Syrian ?


Cheers

I think it changes every now and then I've heard Turkish too, it's the same general area anyway!
