Saint George's Day (Spain) Saint George's Day (Spain) Saint George's Day is traditionally celebrated in several regions of Spain. Saint George is the patron saint of the former Crown of Aragon, since King Peter I of Aragon won the Battle of Alcoraz with his patronage. He is also patron of several cities. In most cases, the reason for those cities' relation with the Saint as their holy Patron is linked to historic events which happened during the "Reconquista." The Saint's feast is also celebrated in many towns outside the former Crown of Aragon in Spain. Saint George has been the patron saint of Cáceres,
Saint Andrew's Day to humans. A human hearing a wolf speak to him will die. Saint Andrew is also the patron saint of Romania and the Romanian Orthodox Church. In Póvoa de Varzim, an ancient fishing town in Portugal there's Cape Santo André (Portuguese for Saint Andrew), a place that shows evidence of Romanization and of probable earlier importance, with hints of stone age paintings. Near the cape there are small pits in a rock, a mystery stone, that the people believe these are footprints of Saint Andrew. Saint Andrew Chapel is of probable medieval origin, referenced in 1546 and in earlier documents.
