Hello my friends! Today we are going to meet San Jorge
Sant Jordi in Catalan or St. George in English.
Saint George is celebrated the 23rd of April, to commemorate the day of his death.
St George is the patron saint or many countries, for example England and Portugal.
In Spain is the patron saint of two Autonomous communities: Catalonia and Aragon
The legend of St George tells that he was a a very brave man
who fought a dragon
and killed it with his sword, to free the princess that it had captured.
Help! Help!
A rose sprouted from the blood of the dragon
and George gave it to the princess as a symbol of love.
The most renowned celebration in Spain is being held in Catalonia
Where the day of "Sant Jordi" is also the lovers day.
The tradition is that the man gives a red rose to the woman
Oh thank you, Tio Spanish
and the women need to give them a book.
The day of St George is also the World Book Day
to commemorate the death of two great writers
that you know for sure: Shakespeare and Cervantes.
The day of Sant Jordi in Barcelona
many bookshops sell their books on the streets
and build streetmarkets along the Ramblas
one of the most famous streets of Barcelona.
Morevoer on thar day a lot of Catalan flags are hanged from the balconies
since it is the day of recognition and defense of catalan language
And that's all about the day of Saint George!
I need to go, you know
there is a very beautiful girl who gave me this book
and she is waiting for me for a date.
Good night and see you next time!
(singing) I join Lola, I join Lola, I join Lola
I join Lola, I join Lola, I join Lola
