About Saint George
George was an early Christian martyr whose shrine at Lydda in Palestine was honored by the fourth century. Reliable biographical details are limited, though tradition identifies him as a soldier killed under Diocletian. The much later story of George defeating a dragon became a vivid symbol of faith overcoming evil and protecting the vulnerable.
