St. George

St. George is the patron Saint of England and the patron Saint of soldiers and all who work for the good of their country. Little is known about St. George. He seems to have been born in Cappadocia (present-day Turkey) to Christian parents. He was in the Roman army and rose to the rank of colonel. When the emperor Diocletian began to prosecute the Christians, George protested and was eventually beheaded. The Greeks have a great devotion to George and refer to him as "The Great Martyr". He is most often depicted on a horse, slaying a dragon. One legend says that George saved a kingdom from a dragon that had been terrorizing its people and poisoning its water supply. However, dragon slaying is a favorite symbol for the victory of Christ's grace over evil.  The Feast Day of St. George is April 23rd.
