I wonder if all the other places, people, causes and ailments that have St. George as their patron saint celebrate it today as well.

St Patrick was English, we were all nicking each other's saints, the Romans did ect ect

I thought St George was from what we now call palestine? though it's probably now called Israel :p

It's a bit sad that St George's Day gets more-or-less ignored. Why can't it be used a global marketing opportunity by a multinational beverage conglomerate like St Patrick's day is?

Yes he was - a Cumbrian!

St George was Greek and born in Syria.

Maybe, maybe not: Lydda or Cappodocia most possibly but it's not clearly known.
