St George's Day is the feast day of England's patron saint and is celebrated on April 23, to commemorate the anniversary of his death in 303 AD. Also known as The Feast of Saint George, it is a customary celebration of various Christian churches, as well as other nations, states and countries of which Saint George is the patron saint - including Bulgaria Portugal, Romania and Spanish communities such as Aragon and Catalonia.In Georgia, St George’s Day is celebrated on November 23, and on this day they recognise the torture St George endured for refusing to make sacrifices to the Roman gods. St. Martin de Porres– This little St. Martin de Porres is carrying a pair of play-dough scissors because St. Martin was a barber.

Saint Francis of AssisiThe emperor was one of the leaders of the Great Persecution of Christians, which saw churches destroyed, scriptures burnt and followers of the religion prohibited from joining the army and assemble for worship. A princess was the next to be sacrificed and on the day she was due to be killed, St George bravely fought the dragon to save her. After St George successfully killed the dragon, the people of Silene were finally granted free access to the well and, as a token of their gratitude, they converted to Christianity. Why is St George's Day not a public holiday? Despite England adopting a white cross at first, it later switched to a red cross, which was used as part of the uniforms of English soldiers in several battles. Edward I eventually made this symbol a national emblem during his reign. St George became a legendary figure in English history due to his courage and bravery - however he never actually set foot in England. The country adopted him as its patron saint, with April 23 being chosen as the date of celebration to mark his death. His head was taken to, and stored, in the church dedicated to him in Rome, while the rest of his body was buried in Lod, Israel.

Recognised annually on the anniversary of St George's death, the day was previously a national holiday and was once celebrated as widely as Christmas. Who was St George? Even though celebrations may be minimal in England, St George is also the patron saint of other countries and each nation has their own way of honouring the day.The shirts I used are mostly adult extra large t-shirt from a craft store, and that’s also where most of the props came from. You can also use shirts from the thrift store or old shirts from around the house. Just turn anything with graphics inside out. The costumes you’ll see here, buying new t-shirts and some props, and using some things we had around the house, cost an average of fifteen dollars each. A red rose has also been the national emblem of England since the War of the Roses, 1455-1485, and some people choose to wear this flower on St George's Day. These costumes start with a brown (preferably hooded) robe, a rope around the waist, and sandals. All the Saints who were Franciscans will dress pretty much the same but can have different props. St. Anthony– Also a Franciscan. Patron saint of lost objects, so tape commonly lost objects (such as keys and tv remotes) around your robe. He if often pictured carrying the Christ child, so you could alternately carry a baby doll or little sibling. He has the same tonsure haircut at St. Francis. Assembly: put on brown tunic, add cowl. Leaving the knotted end long, wrap the rope twice around the waist and tie. Add accessories and, for maximum commitment . . . a haircut. 20. Saint Lucy
