# Happy St George’s Day
 23 April 2023 [Penny Kemp](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/author/pkemp) [Lower School (KS1)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/category/lower-school-ks1)
St George is the patron saint of England and it is believed that he was a soldier in the Roman army who died a martyr's death for his faith in 303 AD. 23rd April is believed to be the day that George died and so it is on this day each year we mark it as St George’s Day.
In the Christian tradition, the image of the soldier saint killing a dragon remains a powerfully evocative symbol of faith triumphing over evil. St George the dragon-slayer, the trophy bearer, protector of the armed forces, liberator of prisoners and defender of the poor, healer of the sick, Christ's soldier.

Take a look at these photos to see where the children ordered the events of the popular story where St George defeats the dragon, putting them in sequence and then making flags.
