Saint George, a figure venerated by Christians and Muslims, was born into noble Christian families and became a tribune in Diocletian's army.

His most famous story sees him defeat a dragon that terrorized a city, saving the princess and converting the inhabitants to Christianity. This legend symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Saint George is the patron saint of numerous countries, including England, and his feast is celebrated on different dates depending on the traditions.
