Saint George was a soldier born in the late 3rd century in Cappadocia, modern-day Turkey. He gained a reputation for bravery and military prowess, and eventually became a personal guard to the Roman Emperor Diocletian. However, when the emperor began persecuting Christians, George refused to participate and was imprisoned, tortured, and eventually executed for his faith. His martyrdom became a rallying point for Christians across the Roman Empire, and he quickly became one of the most venerated saints in the Christian tradition. Today, he is recognized as the patron saint of several countries and regions, including England, Portugal, and Catalonia. He is also known for legendary stories, such as slaying a dragon, and is depicted as a protector of children and patron of soldiers and knights.
