Why is st george's day celebrated

As the name implies, St. George’s Day is a celebration of Saint George, and it is a day that is observed on the date of his death. It is a holiday that is observed on April 23rd by most people, and on May 6th by Eastern Orthodox Churches.

The reason for this is that Eastern Churches use the Julian calendar, and May 6th on the Julian Calendar corresponds to April 23rd on the Gregorian calendar—the calendar that Western churches use.

This can be a bit confusing considering that St. George was born on April 23, 303 AD according to the Julian calendar, which is May 6th on the Gregorian calendar. It can be even more confusing since its date on the Julian calendar can change due to its proximity to Easter.

This holiday is a feast day that is observed in many different countries around the world, particularly in ones that practice the Protestant and Catholic faiths.

In the U.K., it is a national day, but it is not an official holiday. Other countries where it is observed include Georgia, Greece, Serbia, Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.
