Saint George was a Roman soldier who became one of the most venerated saints in Christianity. Called the Diada de Sant Jordi, the day honours Saint George, the patron saint of Catalonia. The festival has roots in medieval legends, particularly the story of Saint George slaying a dragon to save a princess. According to legend, a rose bloomed from the dragon’s blood, which became a symbol of love.
Saint George’s Day, known as Sant Jordi in Catalonia, will be celebrated on April 23, 2026. The festival will be observed on the same date every year. This iconic festival is one of the most important cultural celebrations in the Spanish region of Catalonia, blending romance, literature, and tradition.
