ST. GEORGE OF ENGLAND?
The legends which surround England'a patron saint are many and various. Some historians say he was a native becamé of Cappadoccia, and Bishop of Alexandria and was torn to pieces by an infuriated mob of unbellovers.
According to Percys "Re liques" he had a romantic and amazing history. His mother, wife of Lord Albert of Coven try, died soon after he was born- and the child was brought up by a mysterious lady of the woods. On attaining man'a estate he fought against the Saracens and wandered in foreign lands, eventually re-. turning to Coventry with a Saracen bride whom he had rescued, Perseus-wise, from; a dragon.
The most likely story is that he was a native of Armorică, thi son of Christian parents, who was behended during the Diocletian": ·" persecutions en April 23rd, 303. During the fourth century, many churches were dedicated to him and King Arthur is reputed to have chosen him, as the British pat- ron saint.:
The definite adoption of St George as the English patron of the institution of the Order saint dates from the occasion
of the Garter, by Edward, III. In many ancient writings the" dragon is used as a symbol of evil, hence its incorporation in the picture.
From
earliest times St. George has been the favourite saint of kings and people alike. It la interesting also to pote that he is revered among the Mohammedans, who even por» mit mass to be said, once. a" year, upon the tomb in the old Christian church | at: Lydda, which is now & mosque.
