Petition Action

Make St Georges day an English Bank Holiday.

Additional Information

St. George is the patron saint of England; his cross forms the national flag of England, and features within the Union Flag of the United Kingdom. Traces of the cult of Saint George in England pre-date the Norman Conquest in the eleventh century; by the fourteenth century the saint had been declared both the patron saint and the protector of the royal family; it is for this reason that St. Georges day should be made a national bank holliday.
