St George of the Golden Legend
St George is Patron Saint of England, but
he never actually came here. He was
a Christian officer in the Roman army
under Diocletian, who refused to abandon
his faith during the Terror. George was
therefore martyred in Palestine about 300
AD. His courage became legendary, and St
George became the example of a Christian
fighting-man, a powerful helper against
evil powers affecting individual lives. He
was the soldier-hero of the Middle Ages.
In the Golden Legend of the 13th century,
Jacobus de Voragine tells the story of how
St George helped rescue the people of
Sylene in Lybia from a dragon, especially
the princess, who had been offered to the
dragon as a sacrifice. With the dragon
dead, and the princess returned to her
father the King, the people of Sylene
converted to Christianity.
