Saint George the Great Martyr and Trophy Bearer was born around 275 AD. in Cappadocia, by Christian parents. When he was 18, he enlisted in the Roman army, where he was quickly promoted to senior positions. Despite all the glory and honors, he proclaimed the truth of the Christian Religion and the Deity of Christ. At the same time, he did not refuse to sacrifice everything and to confess his faith before the emperor Diocletian and many rulers. He endured many horrible tortures, and in the end he was beheaded. There are many miracles of Agios Georgios, while there are many temples that are honored in his name. His memory is usually celebrated on April 23, except when Easter is placed before that date, where it is celebrated the day after Easter.
