For England, St. George's Day also marks its National Day. Most countries which observe St. George's Day celebrate it on April 23, the traditionally accepted date of Saint George's death in 303 A.D. St. George's Day is a provincial government holiday in Newfoundland, Canada. For those Eastern Orthodox Churches that follow the Julian Calendar, the April 23 (Julian Calendar) date of St George's Day falls on May 6 of the Gregorian Calendar in the 20th and 21st centuries. Besides the April 23 feast, some Orthodox Churches have additional feasts dedicated to St George. The country of Georgia celebrates the feast St George on November 10 (Julian Calendar), which currently falls on November 23 (Gregorian Calendar). The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the dedication of the Church of St George in Kiev by Yaroslav I the Wise in 1051 on November 26 (Julian Calendar), which currently falls on the Gregorian December 9.

" In Pope Pius XII's 1955 calendar this rank is reduced to "Simple. " In Pope John XXIII's 1960 calendar the celebration to just a "Commemoration. " In Pope Paul VI's 1969 calendar it is raised to the level of an optional "Memorial. " In some countries, such as England, the rank is higher.

It is the second most important National Feast in Catalonia, where the day is known in Catalan as La Diada de Sant Jordi and it is traditional to give a rose and a book to a loved one.

  • Der Georgstag oder Georgitag ist der 23. April und der Festtag zu Ehren des heiligen Georg, des frühchristlichen Märtyrers aus Kappadokien. Der zu den 14 Nothelfern zählende Heilige ist Patron vieler Orte - und seit der Synode von Oxford 1222 der Schutzpatron von England. Deshalb wird an diesem Tag in der Georgskapelle zu Windsor das sogenannte Hosenband-Kapitel gehalten. Allein in England wurden dem ritterlichen Märtyrer, über dessen Leben allerdings kaum verlässliche Daten existieren, über 160 Kirchen geweiht. Richard Löwenherz erkor ihn zu seinem persönlichen Schutzherrn.

  • Ziua lui Iuri (în limba rusă Юрьев день) sau Ziua Sfântului Gheorghe este o sărbătoare religioasă rusă-ortodoxă bianuală – (primăvara şi toamna). Sudebnikul (Codul de legi) din 1497 stabilea că perioada de o săptămână de dinainte şi după sărbătoarea din toamnă a Sfântului Gheorghe, după ce recoltele erau strânse, era singura în care ţăranii ruşi puteau să-şi părăsească stăpânii feudali şi să se mute pe alte moşii. Un secol mai târziu, Boris Godunov a interzis mutarea ţăranilor de pe moşii, finalizând astfel procesul de iobăgire al ţăranilor ruşi.
  • Юр'їв день, весняне свято Юрія (6 травня за новим стилем), що в народному календарі символізує прихід весни. Юрій (Юр, Юрай) звільняє сили природи до їх повного розквіту й життя. Він також покровитель худоби й тварин. Того дня в Карпатах виганяють худобу на пасовисько. За звичаєвим правом, подекуди можна було до Юр'єва дня вільно пасти худобу й на чужому полі чи пасовиську. В деяких селах Закарпаття на Юр'їв день замаювали хати березовим віттям, молодь обливалася водою. Юр'їв день в Україні, загалом, хліборобське свято, колись також пов'язане з веснянками. Юр'їв день у Росії мав у XVI — XVII вв. соціально-правове значення: за тиждень перед і після Юр'єва дня кріпаки могли змінювати свого поміщика, якщо виконали перед ним свої зобов'язання. (Але цей Юр'їв день був осіннім, 26 листопада). Подібний звичай існував також на Чернігівщині, яка в XVI ст. перейшла Московії.
  • 圣乔治日即4月23日，是一个带有强烈宗教色彩的纪念日，主要在一些将圣乔治作为主保聖人的国家和地区间举行，包括英国、德国、格鲁吉亚、保加利亚、葡萄牙以及加泰罗尼亚。在英国，圣乔治日同时也是英格蘭地區的国庆日。公元303年的这一天，圣乔治因试图阻止罗马皇帝对基督徒的迫害而被杀。 自1969年以来，圣乔治日被罗马教廷宣布不再必须作为公共假日，但在东正教范围内，圣乔治仍然为相当重要的圣徒而被纪念，在加泰罗尼亚，圣乔治日为国家第二大庆祝的公假日，那一天，根据传统风俗，人们会向爱人送一支玫瑰，向孩子送一本书。这一天后来也被联合国教育科学文化组织（UNESCO）记为世界图书与版权日，因为这一天根据不同历法，恰好也是莎士比亚和塞万提斯逝世的日子。 圣乔治同时也是童子军活动的重要主保圣人，英国每年在最接近圣乔治日的周日，很多童子军都会组织举办游行活动。
