San
Giorgio / Saint George: Saint George (ca. 275/281 - 23 April 303)
was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier and a priest in the Guard of Diocletian,
who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of
the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites),
Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is
immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the
Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is
regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. |
