It's simple, most nations get a chance to celebrate their nationality and demonstrate their high regard for the country in which they live. For example, the Irish get St. Patricks Day as a bank holiday; the Scottish get St. Andrews Day; Americans celebrate their country with a holiday on July 4th; even the Australians celebrate their nation with a public holiday on Australia Day. I love England and want to celebrate my nationality on Our Saints' day. Sign this petition in the hopes of making St. Georges Day a Public Holiday for England.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way so many people have connected with this idea. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined it would travel this far.

St Patricks day is huge why do we always miss out? Seems fair to me.
