How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
April 23rd through history
St George, Shakespeare, and a saint who never came
St George’s Day falls on April 23rd. George was a Roman soldier martyred somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean around the year 303, and there is no suggestion that he ever set foot in England. Crusaders brought his reputation home, Edward III placed him at the head of the Order of the Garter, and the arrangement stuck. He is also patron saint of Georgia, Portugal, Catalonia and Moscow, which dilutes the exclusivity.
Shakespeare died at Stratford-upon-Avon on April 23rd 1616, aged fifty-two. His birth is nowhere recorded; he was baptised on April 26th 1564, and the 23rd is a tidy inference that has hardened into fact. Cervantes is often said to have died on the same day. He was buried on the 23rd, having died the day before, and in any case Spain had adopted the Gregorian calendar while England had not, so the two deaths were eleven days apart.
Britain’s first decimal coins entered circulation on April 23rd 1968: the 5p and the 10p, worth exactly one shilling and one florin, introduced almost three years ahead of Decimal Day so that the public could get used to them. Charles II was crowned at Westminster Abbey on April 23rd 1661 with new regalia, the old having been melted down under the Commonwealth.
The dark glasses were an accident: Roy Orbison, the singer-songwriter known for that brooding, operatic voice, had left his ordinary pair on a plane. He was born on April 23rd 1936.
Born on April 23rd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Shirley Temple and Roy Orbison — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Taurus — an Earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull.
Birthstone
Diamond for April.
Birth flower
Daisy (primary), also Sweet Pea — most commonly cited sources agree on daisy as the main April flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — diamond for the stone, Taurus for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
