Diada de Sant Jordi is one of the most important festivals in Catalonia! Today all towns and cities are filled with little stalls selling books and roses, and it is traditional to give to your loved ones one of each!

As the day of books and love, I want to celebrate it with you too!

🌹Bona diada de Sant Jordi!📚

23/04/2024 | I had an awesome day today. I woke up early and studied Russian for 4 hours and then I went to a friend’s house to play some card games. Today is Sant Jordi (my favorite day of the year) and where I live we gift people we love books and roses. I treated myself to two books (Notes on Nationalism and La place), my friend gave me El gremio de los magos, and both he and my brother brought me roses.

In Catalonia, to celebrate St. George's day (la diada de Sant Jordi), lovers exchange roses (that are said to sprout from the blood of the dragon slayed by him) and books (lots of places organise local book markets for the day). It's pretty much our St. Valentine's!

I thought that I could celebrate the day with a drawing of some girl kissers but don't know if I'll make it in time for the 23rd, so I present here the WIP:

Today is Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day), one of the most beloved traditional holidays in Catalonia ❤️ the day of literature, love, and the Catalan language.

In these two images, you can find an explanation of this tradition. The first photo is an auca, a way of explaining stories with drawings and rhymes that is traditional from Catalonia and has been very popular between the 1600s and the 1930s and to a lesser extent still done nowadays.

I wish everyone a happy Sant Jordi with lots of books and love, and in a time when the right-wing furiously attacks our language and culture, a day of fight for Catalan language and literature.

Okay... Last post before going to bed -_-

First of all... Context: Here in my country we celebrate on April 23rd Saint George's day (or Sant Jordi)...

The legend of Saint George, tells the story of a brave knight named George who saved a princess from being devoured by a dragon. In a kingdom plagued by fear of the dragon, which demanded human sacrifices, George courageously confronted the beast. After a fierce battle, he defeated the dragon by plunging his sword into its heart, freeing the kingdom from the threat of further sacrifices.

Legend has it that from the dragon's blood sprouted a rose. George then took this rose and presented it to the princess as a symbol of his bravery and love.

(Thanks translator)

For this reason every April 23rd, people gifts roses and books to friends, family, someone you love basically.

Nowadays there are different versions of the same history, for example, the dragon being friendly (the version I used in this drawing) or the princess being the knight.

❤️💛 Feliz San Jorge y Feliz Día de Aragón! 🐉🫶🏼y Feliç Sant Jordi!🌹📖

Today is Sant Jordi's Day, one of the most important holidays in Catalonia. This festival is based on the legend of Sant Jordi, the patron saint of Catalonia. It tells the story of a knight, a dragon and a princess. In other parts of Spain, it is known as Saint George's Day. And in Aragón - the autonomous community Mapi hails from - it is known as Dia de Aragón.

On this day, in Catalonia, people give books and roses to their loved ones. As best as I can tell, this is somewhat equivalent to Valentine's Day in the USA.
