Nets' Jordi Fernandez celebrates Catalan holiday by distributing books at New York schools
""Sharing this tradition that I've experienced all my life is important to me and my family. But I also think sharing love, which is represented by the rose, and it's International Book Day as well, so exchanging books is also important. Sharing with the community, coming to the school, giving books to the kids, so hopefully we'll make it a bigger event every year...""
""What it means, and more than just the story or the tale or the legend, it's what we do that specific day, how beautiful it is in the region, but specifically in Barcelona. If you guys have the chance to go there on April 23 and see why the rose and why the book [are important]. To me, it means the world [to share it].""
Jordi Fernandez, head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, celebrated Saint George's Day by visiting local schools, P.S. 001 and P.S. 008. He read to students and distributed books, embracing the Catalan tradition. Saint George's Day, celebrated on April 23, involves exchanging books and roses. Fernandez emphasized the importance of sharing this tradition with the community and highlighted the significance of love and learning.
