Cry God for Harry, England and St George!
Today is St. George's Day...the patron saint of England (and Palestine, Moscow, Aragon...and quite a few others!).
There is much written about St. George and his many adventures...of course the best known tale is that of him killing a dragon to stop a princess/fair damsel/girl being offered to the dragon as a sacrifice...
St. George...dragon slayer, martyr and subject of many beautiful paintings..
Raphael
Reubens
Tintoretto

Today is also the anniversary of an accident that saw me being taken of in an ambulance to hospital. Well - not straight away, had to wait for the parents to come home from their St. George's Day dinner and discover me in a heap on the floor.
He is also the patron saint of the Russian Spy Service. Also the patron saint of Moscow. I have an orthodox church wood carving of him.
It will not succeed in reality, that's exactly what I think.
