In the year 1222 at the Council of Oxford it was decreed that the feast of St. George should be observed as a national holiday. King Edward III in the year 1347. Instituted the Order of the Garter -the blue ribbon of chivalry- dedienting it to St. George, and directing that the annual festival should be held at Windsor on St. George's Day.
King Henry V won the great victories of Cressy, Polctlers and Agincourt under the banner of St. George. Shakespeare re- presents him as saying "Cry God for Harry, England and St. George."
The stirring days of Drake and Raleigh-the gallant fight of Sir Richard Grenville of the "Revenge," took place under the banner of St. George. It was the flag of England which thene undaunted ploncara unfurled on the shores of the New World- the flag which encircled the globe and carried to the Indies, those long and lasting foundations of our glorious Empire,
