St Jordi



St. Jordi is a celebration that's done in Catalunya, on the 23rd of April, in which we celebrate love and literature. Roses are very typical of this day, as well as seeing the Catalan flag everywhere (it has thin red and yellow stripes) and book stands everywhere. There is also a legend about how St. Jordi killed a dragon to save his princess.

Oh yes! I love this celebration! ^^
The legend is beautiful... I used to like it very much when I was a little girl, and dreamed I was the princess... :P
And the book stands are the best part! :)
