ST. GEORGE
This is St. George's" Day. In CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL
many ways St. George is one of the most puzzling of the saints.
The following are the forth- for though his name has been so coming services at the Catholic widely known for centuries he
was called "the great martyr" by the Greeks very little is really known about him. There is no doubt, however, about his actual existence and about the fact that he died as a martyr at Lydda in Palestine 'before the end of the third century,
:
The legends about him are numberless and there was a con- stant tradition that he was a soldier. It was this that made him popular with the crusaders Richard the Lionhearted put his army under his protection and from about the thirteenth cen- tury he has been accepted as the patron of England.
It was only a little before this time that we find him mentioned as a dragon-alayer, and while there have been many efforts to show that this story was trans- ferred from the history of some other hero, it has not been pos- sible to trace any definite origin to it.
