Why St George is a Palestine hero

As England celebrates the day of its patron saint, many Palestinians are gearing up for their own forthcoming celebrations of the figure they also regard as a hero.

The red cross on a white background has been associated with Saint George since the time of the Crusades.

It is said that he once lived in al-Khadr near Bethlehem, on land owned by his mother's family.
