According

St George's
Day is great fun and an ideal opportunity for people to celebrate their
nationality and being English. It reminds that they are proud of their national
identity, where they come from and who they are.
St George
isn't patron saint of England but also of many other countries and cities
including Lithuania, Portugal, Germany, Moscow and Venice.
However it
is important to make the distinction that Britain is made up of England, Wales
and Scotland and each country has its own patron saint with its own special
day. St Andrew is patron saint for Scotland and Saint David is for Wales.

The United Kingdom has always been a map of multiple identities. How much truer that is today in an era of mass immigration and labour mobility. More and more of us are hybrids.
