The English Heritage added: “Despite not being the country, St George was considered someone who embodied characteristics that the kingdom wanted to project in the outside world.”

The Church of England, in a publication on X (previously Twitter), said: “Together with many other churches, we do not maintain the days of the saints during Easter Week.
“When San Jorge’s day or San Marcos day fall between Palm Sunday and the second Easter Sunday, it is transferred to Monday after the second Easter Sunday.
“If both fall in this period, San Jorge’s day is transferred to Monday and San Marcos Day to Tesday.
“That means that this year, San Jorge’s day falls on April 28, 2025”.
