About

Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in Christianity, famous for the legend of slaying a dragon to save a princess and a city. A Roman soldier from Cappadocia who converted to Christianity, he was martyred during the Diocletian persecution around 303 AD.

The dragon legend, though developed later, captures the essence of George's faith—courage to face evil, protection of the innocent, and ultimate sacrifice. He represents the Christian soldier who fights not with hatred but with virtue, defending the helpless against monstrous evil.

George became the patron saint of England, Portugal, and many other nations. The red cross of Saint George appears on flags and coats of arms throughout the world. He is the patron of soldiers, cavalry, and all who fight for righteous causes.

Famous Story

When a dragon demanded human sacrifices from a city, the princess was chosen by lot. George arrived as she awaited her fate, charged the beast with his lance, and saved her. He then converted the grateful city to Christianity.
