St. George (275 – 23 April 303) was, according to tradition, a priest and Roman soldier in the army of Emperor Diocletian, venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography, St. George is one of the most venerated saints in Catholicism (both in the Roman Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church as well as in the Anglican Communion). He is also venerated in several cults of Afro-Brazilian religions, where he is syncretized in the form of Ogum. He is immortalized in the tale in which he kills the dragon and is also one of the fourteen auxiliary saints. Regarded as one of the most prominent military saints, his memory is celebrated on April 23 as well as on November 3, when, everywhere, he commemorates the rebuilding of the church dedicated to him in Lida (Israel), where his relics , erected at the behest of the Roman Emperor Constantine I.<\/p>\n

It is the patron saint in several parts of the world: England, Portugal (secondary saint), Georgia, Catalonia, Lithuania, Serbia, Montenegro, Ethiopia, from the cities of London, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bGenoa, Reggio di Calabria, Ferrara, Freiburg in Brugge, Moscow and Beirut, unofficially, from the city of Rio de Janeiro (officially attributed to S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o) and the city of S\u00e3o Jorge dos Ilh\u00e9us, as well as being a patron of the Boy Scouts, and the Brazilian Army Cavalry. There is a tradition that points to the year 303 as the year of his death. Although its history is based on legendary and apocryphal documents (Gelasian decree of the sixth century), the devotion to St. George has spread all over the world.<\/p>\n
