He was born in a place called Cappadocia. Saint George is the patron saint of lots of things! St George isn’t just the Patron Saint of England! He is the Patron Saint of farmers, soldiers, archers and even… scouts! The scouts and guides often take part in a parade on St George’s Day because of this.
Saint George is thought to have been born into a noble Christian family in the late third century in what is now modern-day Turkey. As a soldier and officer in the Roman army, he refused to denounce his faith and persecute fellow Christians leading to his martyrdom in 303 AD.
He is most famous for slaying a dragon.
