St George is the patron Saint of England. Hard to say why, as he was 
Turkish, I think!

However, it is celebrated as a specifically English day here, but not in 
the other countries of the UK, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. They each 
have their own patron Saints, remembered on other dates.

Church of England churches will fly the St George Flag, a red cross on a 
white background. That being the flag of England. The flag of the UK of 
course is the Union Flag (called the 'Union Jack' only when flown from a 
ship).
