I don’t know how long this link will work, but here are pictures of St George’s Day celebrations in England (on the 23rd), from the BBC website: Saint George Celebrations

We received a letter today about a St George figure, which made me think about this. While there is currently no Ostheimer “Saint George”, there is the marvelous Black Knight who is shown on our home page, as well as the fantastic Ostheimer dragon. We’ve recently added the Kinderkram Dragon’s Cave, so you can put together your own scene to recreate a dragon-slaying exploit of that old saint. (Don’t forget to add a beautiful maiden!)

St George is traditionally shown with a shield bearing a red cross (from which stems the flag of England).
