The legend of Sant Jordi says that long long ago there was a monstrous dragon with long claws and fire breath. It was the dragon will flee the village, killed people with his breath and swallow people alive.
The villagers decided to give him two sheep every day to appease their hunger. When the sheeps were finished, they gave cows, oxen and all the animals that they had to him until none were left. The king summoned a meeting where they decided they would do a lot and would give to the dragon a person every day, so eat it.
One fateful day, it fell to the king's daughter, and he tearfully said: "Excuse my daughter and in return I will give you all my gold, my argent and half of my reign, but we ask for them please, leave to my daughter. The people refused, and the king ordered eight days to mourn her daughter. On the day, the king dressed and left in front of the cave near the dragon.
But suddenly, when the dragon opened his big mouth to eat the princess, appeared knight Sant Jordi riding a white horse with his spear and golden shield to save the princess from the clutches of that big dragon.
That gentleman raised his long spear and a blow, the dragon fell down to the ground, with the spear through the heart center. Suddenly, the dragon's blood that flowed down the body out a rose bush with roses that glowed with the radiance of the sun, the gentleman took a Sant Jordi, the prettiest of all, he went to the princess and gave a sign of love.
