I’m sure you heard of Saint George. He is one of the best known Saints. You know… Saint George? He slayed a dragon?
Even though this Saint is known in virtully every catholic household, not much is known about him.
Among the greeks, St. George is known as “the Great Martyr”, and his feast day is a holy day of obligation. His intercession was said to be implored in battles, as he is said to have been a soldier.
St. George is generally represnted engaged in battle with a dragon. He died about the year 303.
LORD, we acclaim Your might and humbly pray. Just as St. George imitated the LORD’s Passion, so let him now come to the aid of our weakness.
Amen.
