 THE LIFE OF ST. GEORGE

Saint George lived during the reign of emperor Diocletian in 296. He came from Cappadocia and descended from a glorious and well-known family. He was an officer in the Roman army. When Diocletian started a persecution against the Christians, he issued a royal decree stating that those who deny Christ should be worthy of royal honors, while all those who refuse to deny Christ would be punished with death. When Saint George received these orders, he declared that he was a Christian and he criticized the delusion of the idols mocking those who believed in them. Diocletian's threats, intimidation and even torture did not shake the Saint's belief. Many people came to Christ seeing the braveness of Saint George and the denouncement of the pagan idols. After many tortures, Saint George was finally beheaded.
