On Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day), Catalans celebrate love and knowledge with a series of festivities!
On Sant Jordi (St. George's Day), Catalans celebrate love and knowledge. Men give their sweethearts a rose, and women a book. It's a kind of Valentine's Day with a Catalan twist. Jordi, depicted slaying the dragon, is the symbol of the victory of good over evil. Unesco has declared April 23 World Book and Copyright Day, giving Sant Jordi its full meaning as the victory of knowledge over obscurantism, with the red rose symbolizing the blood of the slain dragon.
