Why Did England Turn on St. George? — A Knight No More | Echoes of England (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 2 of Echoes of England. Throughout the series, we explore the legend of St. George’s Day, the saint himself, and how his story has shaped English history and identity — as well as what it might mean for the nation's future.

In this episode, we follow Saint George’s fall from grace: from the height of his celebration as England’s patron to the arguable low point when his day was quite literally banned by law. Along the way, we’ll consider what this rise and fall reveals about the shifting nature of English identity and the stories we tell ourselves — both as individuals and as a people.
