23rd April, Patron Saint St. George. (With any luck we might even be able to fly his flag without being arrested.)
Happy St. George's day if you celebrate it.

English churches would have looked a lot more like this before the reformation.
Uccello's painting of 'St George and the Dragon' tells the REAL story. A patriarchal warmonger on his rearing white charger attacks the magnificent green dragon going for a peaceful walk with their girl. Blood is shed, the maiden wears a red tunic and there is a waning sliver of moon in the sky. This is patriarchy imaged destroying female coalitionary solidarity. See how the dragon's womb-like cave has beautifully laid out herb gardens in front of it. And the girl's lead or girdle is an umbilical, menstrual connection. The gleaming curve of the matrilineal dragon's splendid teeth rhymes with the high risen moon.
A spiralling dark cloud of chaos rides in behind the so-called 'saint': Rain? Fertility? Pollution? Burning oil wells? Of course that dragon was ferocious guarding the girl from patriarchal oppression and 'world historic defeat'!
A picture of the world being made safe for marriage, freed from menstrual solidarity 🩸.
April 23ʳᵈ, celebrating the traditional anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare and the feast day of St George — here seen killing a rather watery dragon in Barcelona — whom I have always liked for his cosmopolitan interests.
