SAINT GEORGE, THE MARTYR He was only twenty years old when he set off for Nicomedia to pay homage to the Emperor Diocletian. He wanted to plead with him to stop any further persecution of the Christians. The Emperor listens to the brave young man of patrician descent. Taking pity on him, he gives him one last chance to ‘come to his senses’ and to return to polytheism. When though he doesn’t succeed in diverting him from Christ’s path, either through kind words or cruel torture, he executes him. This happened on 23rd April 290 at one o’clock in the afternoon. On countless icons all across the world, Saint George is pictured standing (or on a horse) in nobleman’s clothing, with a lance in his hand and at his feet lies a slain dragon, a symbol of polytheism. This is what’s written in the history books, but stories and witnesses say that Saint George appears in hard times when evil is rife. He usually appears before those who are ill or suffering, or wounded soldiers for who there is no hope, lit up by a ray of sunshine, which makes his golden armor glitter. It is said that whoever sees him will be saved.
