SANT JORDI I EL DRAC: LA LLEGENDA DE SANT JORDI I EL DRAC Sant Jordi és el patró de més de 50 països d''arreu del món, com: Etiòpia, Geòrgia, Grècia, Lituània, Palestina, Portugal i Rússia. A més, és el patró de Catalunya i Aragó. Cada país celebra el dia de Sant Jordi amb tradicions diferents, la història mai no està de moda i cada anys esdevé més popular. Sant Jordi és el patró de soldats, arquers, cavalleria, cavalleries, genets, agricultors i treballadors de camp. Sant Jordi és també el patró de l''escoltisme ja que "era l''arquetip del que ha de ser un bon escolta ." L''escriptor Mark Watson ha investigat totes les llegendes de Sant Jordi i ha pres les parts més comunes (posar els seus dubtes i temors en una caixa, donar a la princesa una rosa) i ha descartat els aspectes més avorrits per a crear la versió definitiva de la llegenda. Algunes peces estranyes han estat retallades perquè el conte es mantingui molt inclinat en la narració, arriba Sant Jordi, veu la destrucció, lluita contra el drac i és derrotat, es recupera i, finalment, triomfa, com una pel-lícula de Hollywood, és l''estructura clàssica de tres actes. Les roses es van convertir en un símbol del patró perquè es creu que una bella floració ha crescut a la seva tomba. Aquesta simbologia també prové d''una tradició a Catalunya, on les dones donarien als homes un llibre i rebran una rosa a canvi en el dia de Sant Jordi, celebrat cada 23 d''abril. La història de Sant Jordi està escrita en vers, com tots els llibres infantils de Mark Watson. El vers està constituït d''apariats cautelosament escrits. Les il-lustracions de Sant Jordi i el Drac han estat realitzades per l''artista alemany Richard Caine, cada imatge ha estat pintada a mà en acrílic. Aquesta és la culminació de gairebé un any de treball. Un tro divideix l''aire, el llampec parpelleja silenciós, des del pou al costat del castell se seny un so espantós.Entremig dels núvols negres i abundantssurt un imponent i malèfic drac gegant. El drac surt del barranc aconseguint una alçada elevada, es veu a si mateix, un petit Jordi, reflectit a la seva mirada."Qui ets tu?" El drac demana: "Has vingut sol?" La seva veu és pura maldat, sense cap rastre de consol. Aquest cavaller croat, amb llança, escut i espasas''asseu dret sobre el seu cavall, i sense por es desplaça."El meu nom és Jordi, estic sol, he estat a l''estranger però ara sóc a casa, No hi ha exèrcit, només jo, lluitaré i guanyaré, o lluitaré i moriré ."
