My Favourite celebration

From Marina to Maddie

Hi Maddie,

My favourite celebration is Sant Jordi (Saint George). Sant Jordi is the saint of Catalonia, and it's celebrated only in Catalonia. It is on the 23rd of April. 

On this day the boys give the girls a rose, and the girls give boys a book, is also the day of lovers.

Sometimes is from Monday to Friday it isn't celebrated on the same day, it's always celebrate at the weekend, and on Sunday there is a competition of writing stories. It isn't important the day of the celebation in the village, the book and the rose are always given on the 23rd because the day of Sant Jordi isn't bank holiday.

I love this day because I like roses a lot!, and although I'm a girl if you want you can buy a book too! I love read!

Have a nice summer  and  see you next year.
