Today, April 23, is the 447th birthday of Shakespeare. Here are some interesting facts:
1. There is no absolute evidence that today is Shakespeare's birthday, but is accepted as the correct date, based upon the day of his Baptism. This information came from my Shakespeare professor (aka a valid source).
2. Today is the Feast of St. George, patron of England.
3. Shakespeare is also thought to have died on April 23rd!
4. Isn't that fitting....
5. And, it is speculated that Shakespeare was Catholic.
Just thought you'd find this an epic coincidence!
