 men! Biography: George (Gurgis/Jurjis) was born in Cappadocia\, East Asia 
 Minor in c. A. D. 283. His parents were of royal origin as describedby Met
 a Frastres (Moothedan\, 2001). His Father is thought to be an army chief o
 f Emperor Diocletian. George was also a high-ranking military officer in t
 he army of Diocletian.There are several legendary and historical descripti
 ons about St. George and it is difficult to distinguish between the two. H
 owever\, most of the books refer to an incident which is described here. O
 ne day George was riding a horse in the province of Lybiain North Africa. 
 He came upon a city named Sylene. Near the city was a marsh\, in which liv
 ed a dragon. The people had attempted to kill it but were poisoned by the 
 creature’s fetid breath. To placate the dragon\, they offered it two she
 ep a day\, but when they began to exhaust their supply of sheep\, they wer
 e forced to substitute a human each day instead\, casting lot to choose th
 e victim. At the time of George’s arrival\, the lot had just fallen to t
 he King’s daughter Andromeda (Sophia?). No one volunteered to take her p
 lace\, so she was dressed in bridal finery and sent to meet the dragon. Ri
 ding upon this scene on a (green) horse George attacked the dragon and spe
 ared it with his lance. He then fastened theprincess’s girdle around its
  neck\, and the girl led the dragon into the city. The people were frighte
 ned and started to run away\, but George told them not to be afraid – th
 at if they would believe in Jesus Christ and be baptized\, he would slay t
 he dragon.The King and the people agreed. George killed the dragon\, and i
 t was carried away on four ox carts (White\, 1991). George accepted no rew
 ard for his service\, but he asked the King to build churches\, honour Pri
 ests\, and to be compassionate towards the poor.George was martyred duing 
 the persecution of Diocletian at Nicomedia in the beginning of the 4th cen
 tury.The persecution lasted for about seven years. During that period abou
 t seventy Kings were associated with Diocletian and historians mention dif
 ferent Kings in their account of the persecution.The persecution was as a 
 result of George’s refusal to worship Appalon and Hoclis\, the pagan God
 s. George performed several miracles. Diocletian’s wife Alexandria and h
 is daughter Valeria believed in Jesus Christ. This resulted in the beheadi
 ng of Alexandria on April 8 at Diospolis in Palestine (now\, Lod\, Israel)
 . St. George was beheaded at the same place on 23 April (Britannica\, 2001
 \; Encarta\, 2001).The writings of two Syrian churches\, which date back t
 o A.D.494\, suggest that George was martyred at Lydha (now\, Lod\, Israel)
 .There were churches in the name of St. George during the time of Constant
 ine\, the Great\, at Nicomedia\, Ludia\, and Thessalonica.-Biography Court
