About
St. George was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr whose courage and faith made him one of the most venerated saints in Christendom. Born in Cappadocia, he served bravely in the Roman army but refused to renounce his faith during Emperor Diocletian’s persecution. Tradition tells of his legendary defeat of a dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and faith over fear. His steadfast witness to Christ, even unto death, inspired generations of Christians to remain true in the face of persecution. Lived: c. 275–303 | Feast Day: April 23 | Canonized: Pre-Congregation Patronage: Soldiers, England, scouts, and those suffering persecution.
