About Saint George's Day
Religion , United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Apr 23, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Saint George is the patron saint of England and he is also known as 'the Dragonslayer'. Saint George was born into a wealthy Christian family in Turkey around 280AD and lived until he was twenty-three. In 303AD, the Roman Empire was growing increasingly concerned with the proliferation of Christianity and ordered all Christian soldiers to be expelled, and all Roman soldiers to perform sacrifices to the pagan gods. Saint George, a soldier by this time, refused to relinquish is faith or participate in pagan rituals. He was beheaded for his beliefs on April 23, 303.
Within the next forty years the entirety of the Roman Empire would be converted to Christianity following the conversion of Emperor Constantine just nine years later in 312AD.
A legend of Saint George would grow with the Eastern Orthodox Churches in which he saved the king of Libya's daughter from being sacrificed to a dragon in exchange for the population converting from paganism to Christianity. It is rumored the king built a church on the location where Saint George slew the dragon.
This event is celebrated throughout the Christian world, but most notably in commonwealth and crown countries tied to the United Kingdom.
