But who was George? Each year, according to a familiar legend, a swamp-dwelling dragon threatened to poison a nearby village unless a youth, chosen by lot, was given him to eat. By and by, the lot fell to the daughter of the king. Walking toward the swamp, she was intercepted by George. “Fear not,” he said, “I will help you in the name of Christ.” When the dragon emerged, George made the sign of the cross and plunged his lance into the beast.

Years later, in 1189, when English troops under Richard Coeur de Lion went forth in the Crusades, they went under the protection of St. George.
In truth, our knowledge of George is slight.

He was evidently born into a noble family in Cappadocia and martyred during the Great Persecution of Emperor Diocletian, reportedly on April 23, c. 304.

One version says George was tied to a cross where his skin was scraped with iron combs. But it is his fabled tryst with the dragon for which he is best remembered in the hearts—and in the art—of medieval Christians.

And after all perhaps he did, in a sense, slay the dragon.

A transvestite from outer space who came to the UK to probe many bottoms. Only now do we have a picture of him..

Last seen making big money on his ponzi scam.

Reptiles and pubescent juveniles stinging them - pfffft, whats new... You all need a day to celebrate the bird in the sky! :smug: :D

That would finally reveal the deeper meaning of this old German prayer that goes like this:

Lieber Gott, mach mich fromm,
daß ich in den Himmel komm.

:D :woot:
