April 23rd, 2020

Happy nameday to all of you named George or Georgia, a popular name in Greece!

Saint George's Cross, also called the Cross of Saint George, is a red cross on a white background.

Saint George became associated as the "patron saint" of England after the English reformation  and his flag came to be identified as the national flag of England.(source: wikipedia)

Can you name the capital of England? (I'm sure you can!🙂)  Can you name some other major cities? What famous landmarks can you think of? Any English writers, poets or playwrights? Especially one who died on April 23rd???

If you don't know who I am talking about, read this article. (click on the word!) It's in Greek and it contains lots of useful information.
