23rd of April thre is celebration of Saint George . Legend says that the dragon attacked the nearby town and no one could deal with it. People were giving to the dragon animals and girls every day. On the day when at random lottery the princess was chosen to be eaten by a dragon, Saint George met her. In defense of her life and life of the town's inhabitants, he killed the dragon.
