Feast of the Book and the Rose. Sant Jordi celebrates Saint George, whose legend permeates the Catalan imagination.
Festival of the Book and the Rose. Sant Jordi honors Saint George, patron saint of Catalonia, whose legend permeates the Catalan imagination. The valiant knight is said to have saved a princess from the clutches of a terrible dragon. When he plunged his sword into the heart of the beast, a red rose sprang from its blood and was offered to the princess. Thus, the tradition is that on April 23, men offer a rose to their beloved, and receive a book in exchange. Flower and book stands are set up throughout the city.

Des livres et des roses
Malgré les révidincations indenpendentistes qui se sont venues rajouter à la tradition, une belle fête où l'amoureux offre une rose rouge à son amoureuse, et lui reçoit un livre, en souvenir de Cervantes.
