St George’s Day is celebrated by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint, including England, the old kingdoms and counties of the Crown of Aragon in Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria and the cities of Moscow, Genova, Beirut and Victoria in Malta and many others where it is a day of joy and believing in God, people will go out and build a fire and play around it, people will bless their houses, fields, their children and everything around them with water as it was the holy water. St. George’s Day is known as the Feast of St. George by Palestinians. St. George’s Day is a provincial government holiday in Newfoundland, Canada. St. George is also the patron saint of the Scout Movement, who have been celebrating St. George’s Day on April 23 since its first years, and St. George is the patron saint of many other organizations.

For England, St. George’s Day also marks its National Day. Most countries which observe St. George’s Day celebrate it on April 23, the traditionally accepted date of Saint George’s death in 303 A.D. Interestingly, April 23, 1616 was also the date of death of English playwright William Shakespeare.

St George’s Day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas from the early 15th century until the end of the 18th century after the union of England and our Scottish brothers. In recent years the popularity of St George’s Day appears to be increasing again gradually. In 2009 Mayor of London Boris Johnson spearheaded a campaign to encourage the celebration of St George’s Day. Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP has been putting the argument forward in the House of Commons to make St George’s Day a public holiday. Although Saint George is the Patron Saint of England, it is believed that St George was not English and it is not certain if he visited England or not, although legend has it that St George was born in Coventry at Caludon Castle in Wyken, though some say he was born in Cappadocia, an area which is now in Turkey.

A traditional custom at this time was to wear a red rose in one’s lapel, though with changes in fashion this is no longer common. Another custom is to fly or adorn the St George’s Cross flag in some way: pubs in particular can be seen on April 23 festooned with garlands of St George’s crosses. However, the modern association of the St George’s Cross with sports such as football, cricket and rugby means that this tradition is rare outside this context. It is customary for the hymn "Jerusalem" to be sung in cathedrals, churches and chapels on St George’s Day, or on the Sunday closest to it. St George’s Day is traditionally the occasion when the Queen announces new appointments to the Order of the Garter.

There is a growing reaction to the recent indifference to St George’s Day. Organizations such as English Heritage, and the Royal Society of Saint George (a non-political English national society founded in 1894) have been joined by the more prominent St George’s Day Events company (founded in 2002), with the specific aim of encouraging celebrations. Other organisations like the St George Unofficial Bank Holiday are encouraging people to be more proactive by taking the day off work (an unofficial bank holiday). They seem to be having some effect. On the other hand, there have also been calls to replace St George as patron saint of England, on the grounds that he was an obscure figure who had no direct connection with the country. However he represents the triumph of good over evil – something which every true and decent Englishman and Briton holds passionately in his heart. Besides, St Patrick was from Wales (now the UK) not Ireland.

I am organising a drink down at my local pub where we will all play our favourite English music like Fairport Convention, The Jam, The Kinks, Beatles, Stones, Bowie and Elgar!

Anyone else going to fly the flag or at least celebrate with an English ale or a G&T ???
And we’ll be playing some Bloc Party and good English soul too.

You sir are a grotty little racist. I hope someone removes your answer.
Squeaky Guinea Pig,
You’re a bit heavy.
What a lot of weird erroneous issues you have.
Thanks for answering anyway, but I think you’re points are best delivered elsewhere!?!!?

St George’s Day will be celebrated by me.

I don’t give a two friggs about Political Correctness, if my St George’s flag or Englishness offends anyone they should really think about moving country.

I remember when i was young in the scouts, we used to parade on St George’s day and pledge our Allegiance to The Queen.

Being English is to win the lottery of life, I am very proud of what my nation has achieved and its place in the world.

Great Englishmen include, Sir Winston Churchill, Admiral Lord Nelson, Issac Newton, Charles Darwin, William Willberforce, Sir Walter Raleigh, William Shakespear, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

I heard some Electro Jazz music the other day and i completely fell in love.

How does folk dancing relate to Belgium?

How is the formation of the dance?

Bit like a rite of passage. They call it volksdans.

Filmed in Belgium, probably danced by Belgians but definitely NOT a Belgian dance.

What does popular culture (TV, movies, music, books, art) say about American society? Is it valuable? Is it more or less important than "traditional" history (politics, war, economics, laws, etc)? Should we study the history of popular culture in schools? Why or why not?

Knowledge of popular culture might help you on a game show.

I’m looking for songs that have storyline type lyrics. By that I mean a song that tells a story.

Maybe something old from Slough Feg(?)

Note: I know absolutely nothing about classical music but I thought it would be cool and relaxing to listen to some good classical music in the car. I tried to find a good classical music radio station, and I found some, but I did not like their selection of classical music. If I had to describe what i like I would say something with "big" sound for example Ode to Joy maybe? Nothing with like a single violinist playing a solo for like 5 minutes. Anyway, thanks in advance!

Symphony No. 5 – Beethoven
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor – Bach
Hungarian Dances 5, 6, and 10 – Brahms
The Rite of Spring – Stravinsky (This is a very abstract piece. It may take some getting used to)
Piano Concerto No.1 – Tchaikowsky
Requiem – Mozart
Pictures at an Exhibition – Mussorgsky (This is originally a piano solo, but the more famous version is re-written for full orchestra by Ravel)
Requiem – Verdi
La Folia – Vivaldi
The Four Seasons – Vivaldi

Me and some friends are going to start up a jazz ensemble, and we were wondering where to find jazz music at, after looking online, i couldn’t find anything. We might end up going to our local music center, and try their, but I thought I would check here first.
Our group is going to consist of about 2 trombones, maybe 3 trumpets, 1 tube (me), and a clarinet, or sax.
Jazz is a type of music, played by a brass ensemble(in this instance). I m not looking for a shoe site

Try www.sheetmusicplus.com they have a great selection of Jazz music
