Saint George (Greek: ΓεώÏγιος, d. 23 April 303), also George of Lydda, was a Christian who is accepted as a saint in Christianity. According to traditional rumors, he was a soldier in the Roman army. His parents were Christians of Greek origin. His father, Gerontius, was a Cappadocian serving in the Roman army. His mother, Polychronia, was a Christian from the city of Lod in Palestine. Saint George was a soldier of Cappadocian Greek origins, member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian, who was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith. He became one of the most venerated saints and megalomartyrs in Christianity, and he has been especially venerated as a military saint since the Crusades.
In hagiography, as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most prominent military saints, he is immortalized in the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. His memorial, Saint George's Day, is traditionally celebrated on 23 April. (See under "Feast days" below for the use of the Julian calendar by the Eastern Orthodox Church.)
England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Catalonia and Aragon in Spain, and several other nation states, cities, universities, professions and organizations all claim George as their patron.
Sein Symbol in der Heraldik ist das Georgskreuz. Das rote Kreuz auf weißem Grund ist in vielen Wappen und Flaggen enthalten. Heiligenattribute, die neben dem Georgskreuz als Erkennungszeichen des Heiligen dienen, sind der Drache sowie seine Darstellung als Ritter mit Lanze; teils wird Georg auch mit dem Palmwedel des Martyriums dargestellt.
