Brief summary summary of the life of Saint George
Although there is not much historical information about Saint George, this warrior saint was born in ancient Cappadocia, in an area that today belongs to the Republic of Turkey. At a young age, he moved to Palestine with his mother after the death of his father in combat. His mother, from Palestine, Lida, came from a wealthy family and provided her son with a good education. As a teenager, the young man entered the military career and was quickly promoted to captain of the Roman army for his zeal, his commitment, his courage, his mastery and his tactical and military skills. These qualities led the Emperor to award him the title of Earl of the Province of Cappadocia. At the age of 23, he became a Military Tribune at the imperial court in Nicomedia.
During this period, his mother died and George, upon collecting the great possessions that belonged to his mother, moved to the court of Emperor Diocletian.
In 302, Emperor Diocletian issued an edict ordering all Roman soldiers who were Christians to be arrested and forcing all soldiers to swear an oath to the Roman gods by making the proper offerings to them. Jorge confronted the emperor, presenting his objections and before everyone he declared himself a Christian. Not wanting to lose one of his best tribunes, the emperor tried to dissuade him by offering him land, money, titles, and slaves. But in the face of Jorge's irreducibility, the emperor had him tortured to make him give up his faith. But George, after each torture, reaffirmed his faith and devotion, gaining notoriety among the Romans. His strength of will and his faith became so distinct and notorious that, in the face of her pain and suffering, the emperor's own wife converted to Christianity. The Emperor Diocletian, seeing his efforts and his will being thwarted, had him beheaded on April 23, 303, in Nicomedia.
Saint George's remains were transported to Lida, the city where he grew up with his mother. In that city he was buried and later the Christian Emperor Constantine had a sumptuous oratory built for all the faithful to pay their homage and devotion to the warrior saint, helping to spread the myth of Saint George.
