Sant Jordi 2022
23 April is Saint George’s Day (in Catalan, Sant Jordi) and also the UNESCO World Book and Copyright Day, when love and literature are celebrated massively throughout Catalonia and, more and more, in many other places around the world. People exchange #BooksAndRoses on this day as a sign of gratitude. In just one day, in Catalonia, more than 1.5 million books and 6 million roses are sold. For many years, this celebration has been spreading around the world, and 150 events have already been organized by volunteers in 50 countries in recent years.
Let’s get the whole world to celebrate 23 April by exchanging #BooksAndRoses!
Experience the tradition of giving a rose in an original and charitable way! Buy the Virtual Rose and share it or send it to whoever you want. Show your love and solidarity by helping people in vulnerable situations.
At Turisme de Barcelona, in association with Carole Hénaff, who illustrated this year’s image, we’re offering you a virtual rose you can give to as many friends and family members as you like. The more roses you give, the bigger the donation to the ACNUR/UNHCR - Catalan Committee. The UN Refugee Agency.
Let’s make solidarity the greatest gift this Sant Jordi!
- For every rose you give we’ll donate the full amount of 1 € to ACNUR/UNHCR - Catalan Committee. The UN Refugee Agency. Emergency in Ukraine.
- You’ll receive a free Sant Jordi 2022 poster designed by Carole Hénaff.
