Slay a Dragon Day

Slay a Dragon Day, celebrated on April 23 every year, marks the death of St. George and his mighty victory over a fearsome dragon. The legend follows that the dragon terrorized a local village, extorting the village and demanding tribute, the consequences for not delivering were complete annihilation. When villagers failed to supply the dragon with livestock and other valuables, the dragon would then demand a human sacrifice as tribute, which the villagers would supply. St George arrives after a beloved princess is chosen as the dragon’s next tribute. After a mighty battle, St. George emerged the victor, and his courage has forever been enshrined in history.
