St. George the Victory-Bearer (c. †303), also known in the Orthodoxy as the Great Martyr of Lydda, was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr born in Cappadocia. Renowned for his steadfast faith, he served in the Praetorian Guard under Emperor Diocletian. When ordered to renounce Christianity, George refused, boldly professing his faith, leading to his arrest, torture, and execution in Lydda, Palestine, on April 23, 303. His courage inspired countless Christians, and legends, like slaying a dragon, symbolize his triumph over evil. Canonized as a saint, George is venerated worldwide as a patron of soldiers, with his feast celebrated on April 23.
