St. George's Day is celebrated in Newfoundland and Labrador as a government-designated paid holiday. It occurs annually on the Monday closest to 23rd April. St. George was a cavalryman in the Roman army at Lydda, now in modern-day Israel. He was a Christian at a time when Rome was ruled by the emperor Diocletian, who was anti-Christian. He is the patron saint of England, where the holiday also is commemorated.
