2. • The Legend tells us that there was a dragon
that frightened the small town of Montblanc,
located in the south of Catalonia.
3. • To avoid his fierce attacks, people from town
gave a young maid every day, who was chosen
by a popular draw. Until one day, the slaughter
weight was placed on the princess, who was
given to the beast.
4. • When she was about to be devoured, St.
George appeared, a brave knight who fought
and defeated the dragon, stabbing his sword
into the heart, and rescuing the beautiful
princess.
5. • Then, from the blood that flowed from the
heart of the dragon, a red rose was born.
Hence the tradition of giving a red rose to
women, the tradition of the book came later
... some believe that the princess wrote a love
poem to the gentleman.
