According to legend, St. George was a Greek-born soldier in the Roman army who became one of the earliest Christian martyrs because he would not renounce his faith during the period of persecution of Christians.

Stories also tell of how he defeated a dragon that was terrorizing a village in what would be modern-day Turkey or Libya, depending on the version of the story.

St. George is renowned for his bravery and heroism and is revered in the Christian, Islamic and Druze religious traditions, and is claimed as patron saint by several countries including England.
