England
Flag of St George
The life of Saint George is shrouded in
legend, so much so that it is often difficult to discern fact from fiction.
It is believed that he was born in Cappadocia (present day Turkey) of noble,
Christian parents and on the death of his father,
accompanied his mother to Palestine, her country of origin.
He held an important post in the Roman army during the reign of the Emperor Dioclesian
(245-313). Dioclesian was a great persecutor of Christians (from about 302) and
when the persecutions began George put aside his office and complained
personally to the Emperor of the harshness of his decrees and the dreadful
purges of Christians. For his trouble, though, he was thrown into prison and
tortured. He would not recant his faith however and the following day he was
dragged through the streets and beheaded.
St. George became the Patron Saint of England in 14th Century.
One of the most well known legends about St. George concerns the famous dragon.
According to legend, a
pagan town in Libya was being terrorised by a dragon. The locals kept throwing
sheep to it to placate it, and when it still remained unsatisfied, they started
sacrificing some of the citizenry. Finally the local princess was to be thrown
also to the beast, but Good Saint George came along, slaughtered the dragon and
rescued the fair princess. At this the townsfolk converted to Christianity.
