The official patron saint of England - St George, is also the patron saint of Catalonia.
The usual custom on this day is for men to give their wife's or girlfriend's a rose (or a bunch of roses if your lucky!) quite similar to our Valentines Day in the UK.
Then in return the ladies will give a book to whoever they receive their rose from.
The shops are now full of books on every subject you can think of, and the price of roses is sure to be more expensive this weekend than any other time of year.
