There are Georgians.

There are Armenians.

There are Coptic Christians from Egypt.

There are Pakistani Christians that can all fly the flag of St.

George because as Christians, that saint belongs to us all.

and that we should celebrate the life of St.

George and what he stands for, this idea of courage and faith going together.

And that's something that everyone who is a Christian can do together.

But there's an expansive world that that's only a door in.

There's an expansive world that lie behind it.

that can introduce us to all the saints of England, that are interwoven with the very writing of the history of England, like Saint Bede.

And we should celebrate the great saints of this country.

And you can do that even if you're a Christian not born in this country, because all saints belong to all the church, all the time.

And let's come behind that Christian heritage and celebrate it together.

So go on pilgrimages.

Go and have parties in honor of the saints.

Go and have a meal in the honor of the saints.

And remember that the saints that we celebrate are calling us to be better saints ourselves.

Every Christian is a saint already by the work of Christ, but we are called to be the kind of saint that all the other saints celebrate, which is what happens when we celebrate St.

George.
