Great Martyr George is a prominent Christian saint celebrated for his bravery and faith. He is best known for his legendary battle against a dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. His story has made him a patron saint of various causes, including soldiers and farmers, and he is venerated in many Christian traditions, particularly in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches. George was born in the late 3rd century in Cappadocia, in present-day Turkey.

His feast day is celebrated on April 23, and he is often depicted in art as a knight slaying a dragon.
