Saint
George
On 23rd April, Catalans celebrate a popular
tradition, remembering a legend named “The History of Saint George”. Here in Catalonia,
we give a present to our family and friends to show that we love them. Following
the tradition, the boys buy a rose to their girlfriends, and they give them a
book.
The boys give the roses to their girlfriends, because
the legend says that a dragon wanted to eat people, and one day, the princes of
the village became the food of the dragon. She went to the cave waiting for the
dragon. In the last minute of her life a knight named Saint George appeared and
he killed the terrible animal. From his blood arose a beautiful rose and he
gave it to the princess.
The girls present a book to their boyfriends, because
on 23rd April we celebrate the death of the famous writer named
Cervantes.
