St. George

St. George was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr, traditionally dated to the early fourth century. Refusing to renounce Christ, he endured torture and death during persecution under Emperor Diocletian. Though later legends embellished his story, the Church remembers George primarily as a faithful witness who stood firm in confession. His life reflects the confidence of those who trust in God’s vindication rather than earthly power (Wisdom 5:1–5).

Christ calls His disciples to abide in Him and bear fruit through faithful endurance (John 15:1–7). George’s witness encourages courage rooted in faith, reminding us that true victory belongs to those who remain in Christ.
