Herne's Heresy

An exploration of Saint George's Day and its celebration in England, looking at the legends and history of the patron saint. This video focuses on the rise of Saint George's prominence in Medieval England, the role of patron saints in the British Isles, and the story of how the English adopted George as their own. Later parts will centre around the decline in the celebration of St. George's feast day, and my take on what this means for the English identity now and in the future.
