Nice to hear about the spanish traditions thank you! In England they are not to blame themselves, this happened when England became protestant with the King at the head of the church. Then Saint days were no longer celebrated. It’s a shame

England has a lot of cultural richness from the past however, most of the old customs and traditions associated to it has practically disappeared. I was born and bred in England (to Spanish parents) and never understood how the English are so disconnected to their past traditions; St George’s day is not even a public holiday- shock horror!

I probably noticed this more because on my Spanish side we are still connected to old traditions and customs; even city dwellers. I think part of this has to do with the Spanish psyche which is still rather connected to the rural (our rural to urban migration happened much later than in UK). Most city folk still have a village where they escape to during holidays or even to go back for harvest time; we are rural at heart still.

On the twelfth night we eat “roscón de reyes” (kings cake) and wait for the Three Kings to deliver our Christmas presents on camels (we don’t traditionally open presents on the 25th nor celebrate Father Christmas – although it has started to become more popular due to globalisation).
