How we celebrate it
Here in Catalonia we celebrate Saint Jordi by doing different things. In Catalonia, on 23rd of April men give a single rose to women in exchange for a book to celebrate Sant Jordi on the World Book Day because this day an important writer called Miguel de Cervantes Saabedra was buried.
Summary  A long time ago, in the village of Montblanc, there was a terrible dragon. It had powerful wings and breathed fire. The dragon could fly, walk and swim. The monster destroyed the crops and ate the animals. The king, to control the situation, decided to give the dragon a girl every day. But who wanted to go to the dragon? The king decided to select the person at random in a sweepstake. This technique was good, but one day the princess was selected. The king and a lot of the people of the village didn’t want that the princess died. But she wanted to accomplish her fate. The princess went to the sacrifice. When she went to the cave of the monster, she saw a knight on a white horse and told him not to go with her. But Sant Jordi wanted to go. When the monster came, the knight and the dragon started to fight, but Sant Jordi injured the beast and it died. From the blood of the dragon, a red rose appeared. Sant Jordi gave it to the princess. But he left the village looking for more adventures.

Emissary: According to the king’s orders, today the princess goes to die in the dragon mouth, like the other girls of the village. It’s an invincible dragon, and no one can kill it. We can cry but we can’t save it.
Sant Jordi arrives in the town
Sant Jordi: Why are you so sad?
Emissary: Our princess is walking to the death. We can’t rescue her, it is from her fate. Look it.
Sant Jordi: I want to save her.
The princess walks to the dragon’s cave.
Princess: Dragon, I’m here for you. Kill me, quickly.
Dragon: Hmmm! Princess for dinner.
Princess: Oh! It’s a terrible dragon.
Dragon: I’m very hungry.
Princess: Oh, no! I’m afraid.
Sant Jordi: Stop! I’m going to kill you dragon.
Dragon: Who are you?
Sant Jordi: I’m Sant Jordi, a brave knight, and I’m here to save this lady.
Dragon: I’m not scared.
(The knight and the dragon fight, Sant Jordi can kill the dragon)
(From the dragon’s blood grows a red rose)
St Jordi: For you my lady. (He gives the rose to the princess)
Messenger and population: Thanks Sant Jordi.
Queen and King: Thank you courageous knight, you have saved our daughter!
Princess: Thank you my rescuer, I will never forget you.
Sant Jordi: Good bye people of Montblanc. Now, I’m going to go back to my house or to find another adventure.
