Our saint should be Edwin, who was considered the most important saint before the Norman conquest.

The Duchy of Moscow took St.George as thier defender saint when over coming the Mogul yoke in around 1346. I have just returned from Moscow to celebrate the Orthodox St.George's Day (May 6th)this is a religous day rather than a national day as in England, also the highest bravery award is the medal of the Order of St.George, the medal depicts St.George, attached is a ribbon of brown with 3 black stripes, the significance of the ribbon has taken a huge step forward in the fact that since 2005 on the Russian Day of Victory (May 9th) the Russian people wear this ribbon as a mark of respect to the Russian dead of WW2, I was proud to be there on this occasion and bought a ribbon, an immensely emotional day. It has to be remembered that St.George is a defender saint and to that end England and Moscow have something great in common Hello David, thought I would drop you a line regarding St.George in Russia, St.George is the defender of Moscow, Moscow has the city flag of St.George slaying the Dragon on a red background, the area of greater Moscow (Oblast)has St.George in the top left hand corner again red is the background.
