Переведите one of england’s symbols that you will recognise from football shirts around the world is the saint george’s cross: a red cross on a white background. this is the english flag and it is also incorporated into the union jack; the flag of great britain. the design for the flag can be traced back to the eleventh century when the english soldiers taking part in the holy crusades used to wear it into battle. they adopted the cross at the same time as they adopted saint george himself; a fourth century christian martyr, to be the patron saint of england. saint george’s day is england’s national day. it falls on april 24th but is not celebrated extensively. it was not until 1277 that the flag was officially declared the national flag of england. let’s move on to plants and flowers. while wales has the daffodil and the leek, scotland the thistle and northern ireland the shamrock, england’s flower is of course the rose. everybody talks about the english rose. we are used to seeing the red rose as an insignia on the england national rugby team’s shirts and it is this red rose that we usually associate with england. but the white rose is also linked to england and is used on different occasions. when we sometimes refer to a certain type of woman as being “an english rose” we are talking about an unflawed complexion, fair skin and a faint blush of pink about the cheeks – the colours of the roses that we find in gardens all over the nation. besides a cross and a rose, england also has a third symbol: three lions. once again, the national football team wears the three lions on the pitch and so does the english national cricket team of course.
