Popular tradition depicts him as the knight who confronts the dragon, a symbol of the intrepid faith that triumphs over the power of the evil one. His memory is also celebrated on this day in the Syrian and Byzantine rites.

The countless churches dedicated to him and the many countries and regions of the world of which he is the patron bear witness to this.
