event St Georges Day Saint George is the patron saint of England. He's popularly
identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry -
but actually he wasn't English at all, he was born in Cappadocia, an area
which is now in Turkey and lived in 3rd century AD. The image of George most familiar to us today, the saint dressed
in a white tunic bedecked with a red cross, astride his stallion, and
skewering a dragon as he rescues a fair maiden, depends more on a late
medieval and Renaissance ideal. George's reputation grew with the returning crusaders. A miracle
appearance, when it was claimed that he appeared to lead crusaders into
battle, is recorded in stone over the south door of a church at Fordington in
Dorset. This still exists and is the earliest known church in England to be
dedicated to Saint George. The Council of Oxford in 1222 named 23rd April
Saint George's Day. From the 14th century Saint George was regarded as a special
protector of the English. English soldiers were called to wear "a signe
of Saint George" on chest and back. He became, in the popular
imagination, English. Others trace the origin of Saint George and the Dragon to
Palestine,where the supposed dragon was controlled by Satan. The creature
blocked the city's water supply and would only move if given a virgin
sacrifice. Over time, all of the virgins were sacrificed except for the
noble's daughter, and even she was sent to quench the castle's thirst.
However, Saint George (or Mar Jiryis ) arrived at the last moment on his
white horse, striking down the dragon with a spear between its eyes According to the Golden Legend the narrative of Saint George and
the Dragon took place in Silene,
Libya. This town had a pond large as a lake where a
plague-bearing dragon dwelled who was infecting all the countryside. To appease the dragon, the people of Silene fed it a sheep every
day, and when the sheep failed, they fed it their children, chosen by
lottery. It happened that the lot fell on the king's daughter. The king,
distraught with grief, told the people they could have all his gold and
silver and half of his kingdom if his daughter were spared; the people
refused. The townspeople were adamant that she should be delivered to the
dragon just as many of their children had been. The daughter was sent out to
the lake, decked out as a bride, to be fed to the dragon. Saint George by
chance rode past the lake. The princess, trembling, sought to send him away, but George
vowed to remain.The dragon reared out of the lake while they were conversing.
Saint George fortified himself with the Sign of the Cross, charged it on
horseback with his lance and gave it a grievous wound. Then he called to the
princess to throw him her girdle and put it around the dragon's neck. When
she did so, the dragon followed the girl like a meek beast on a leash. She
and Saint George led the dragon back to the city of Silene, where it
terrified the people at its approach. There appears to be some similarity in the fables and what is
going on in Libya in the 21st Century.
