s COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people are coming together to help one another now more than ever. We’re launching a Doodle series to recognize and honor many of those on the front lines.

Oh yes. At the moment, I'm stuck at home. This might actually be quite interesting if it's multiple different people from different places all post together.

The Google Doodle website usually has extra information about the doodles. I post that information too.

St George's Day.

What does Google Doodle have to say about the doodle? 

[Gopher Gary]

See it's on the Google Doodle website. https://www.google.com/doodles/st-georges-day-2020

Today’s Doodle, illustrated by British guest artist Robin Davey, commemorates St. George’s Day. On the annual celebration of the patron saint, England celebrates St. George and his representation of values like bravery, integrity, and leadership.

According to legend, St. George single-handedly slew a dragon to rescue a city under siege. For centuries, he captured the English imagination; in fact, King Henry V’s veneration for St. George was even immortalized in William Shakespeare’s eponymous play about the monarch. 

St. George was declared England’s patron saint in 1348, and in 1415 St. George’s Day was inaugurated as a national feast day in his honor. Today, the special day lives on as a testament to England’s culture and unique traditions through activities like morris dancing (a rural folk custom) and medieval jousting.

Happy St. George’s Day!

thanks
must say, Morris Dancing isn't just a rural tradition.  l think every English city has it's troupe of Morris Men. Mne does, but i think these guys (vid below)  typify the dance best, and help explain why Morris men are such figures of fun in England . It just occurred to me, that probably some of you guys have never seen Morris dancers. Just gotta rectify that

I've never heard of St. George Day or Morris dancing before. That's a great video. I love corny stuff like that.

Q: What happened to the idiot Morris dancer?

A: He fell off the bonnet.




I apologise for the joke, I read it in an English joke book as a kid.

I don't gettit.
