In an attempt to appease the hungry dragon (who, by the way, has eaten all their livestock by now), the inhabitants of Montblanc make the difficult decision to sacrifice different members of the town. Furthermore, they decided to do this by lottery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, it was the princess that was chosen. As she bravely sets out to her fate, Saint George shows up and slays the fiery dragon with his sword. As the legend goes, a rose sprouted up out of the dragon&#8217;s blood. It was then that Saint George presented it to the princess, probably kneeling in a most chivalrous fashion! Hence the tradition of giving the gift of a rose on Sant Jordi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"img-responsive\" class=\"aligncenter\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_30553\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1210px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" class=\"wp-image-30553\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A rose on a book\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aleix-cabrera-mE_aOLueB7A-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Sant Jordi is where the beauty of literature and roses combine.

Leave it up to the clever Catalan booksellers of the 1920s to take note of this coincidence! They made it a day to recognize the great author and finally, all great literature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Book_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Book Day<\/a>\u00a0became an internationally recognized day just a few decades ago\u00a0(William Shakespeare also died on this same day in 1616).
