St. George, patron Saint of England, and of Catalonia, Ethiopia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal and Russia: little is known of his life but he is thought to have been born to a Christian noble family in Palestine in the third century. Both his parents died while George was in his early teens but he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a Roman soldier. He was soon promoted to the rank of Tribune and was a respected member of the Imperial Guard. Later, when he refused to obey the Emperor’s orders that every soldier had to offer a sacrifice to pagan gods, he was arrested, tortured and executed on April 23rd 303. His body was returned to Palestine for burial and Christians soon came to honour him as a martyr. The episode of him killing a dragon is one of many legends. In 1963 he was removed from the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church but reinstated by Pope John Paul II in 2000. His symbols are the English flag (a red cross on a white background) and a red rose. St. George’s chapel is a feature of the royal residence at Windsor Castle.
