In Catalonia, Saint George’s day is celebrated on 23rd of April “The death of Miguel de Cervantes and Shakespeare ” that is the day when the men give a rose to a women and the women give a book to a men, but now the tradition can be backward.
In IES Sant Andreu we celebrate Saint George's Day in the auditorium with all the students and teachers of the high school.
There are theatres, choirs, concerts and awards for; photography, math, Spanish, Catalan and English literature. In the playground also somebody made sports (football, basketball ...).
At the entrance of the high school was a exchange place of books and there was another table where we could take an ilex to be planted in Collserola natural park.
The result of this event, has been very interesting and we received a lot of participation from students and teachers.

Fantastic event
I agree with Dawid that it is a really interesting event, especially that nowadays books are not very popular gifts. I also like the idea of a book fair. A great chance to enrich your book collection in a simple way.
It was a succes, I think that we did a good work!
I love this tradition!
