This week we will be celebrating St. George Day in England. Everyone knows the story of St. George and the Dragon, right? St. George has so much mythology surrounding him, that it is hard to sort through it all and figure out if any of it was even true!
One thing is certain though, he was a very popular legend. He represented all that was brave, honorable and gallant. This is probably why the boy scouts in England chose him as their patron saint and someone who they could model their lives after and look up to.
We will be celebrating our St. George Day with a solemn parade, a tea and a very short re-enactment of the St. George and the Dragon story. (I will need volunteers to play the Fierce Dragon, the Kindly King, a Petite Princess, St. George and the Doctor).
Our menu for this week includes tea, sandwiches, scones, lady fingers and Madeleines (the last two are cookies).
Don't forget! We are going to be recognizing everyone that is in a Youth Organization, like Scouts, Roots and Shoots and any others that you might be a member of. I know of a few that will be wearing pieces from more than one organization.
