Saint George's Day--April 23 (Same as Shakespeare's birthday and deathday, many argue.)

The Patron Saint of England

From Shakespeare's Henry V (the rallying cry before Harfleur):  "Cry God for Harry, England and St. George!"

St. George's Shield became the flag of England (it was incorporated into the Union Jack). It has since become a rallying point for some extremists who oppose immigration and the presence of foreigners in the UK.
