Sant Jordi

Hi! In three days we are going back to school, that’s not a good new at all but... today is Saint George’s day and we have to celebrate it!

In Catalonia is a very popular celebration. All boys or men that love a women or a girl give to them a rose, the typical one is a red rose, from my point of view it’s a nice color and it symbolizes the roses that grew up from the blood that came out of the dragon killed by soldier George the 23^rd of April. It’s just a legend but it’s an important one for all the Catalan people.

As I was saying, boys give a rose to the girl they love and girls give them a book. I think that is very difficult to find a good book for boy teenagers because most of my friends (boys) hate reading and that’s a pity. Anyway, the tradition says that you have to give them a book, and that’s how it works so… there’s nothing we can do or change. Although a book it’s difficult to find, I really love Saint George day!!
